Mississippi Bullfrog Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 How do you go about reporting gravel across a road? The junction at the top of our hill has a huge mound of gravel left from when the road was resurfaced about two years ago. It's gradually spread so the whole junction is covered and turning on a bike it horrible. I've reported it online to the council - nothing happened. I've tried reporting it to the police - they're only interested if you report it on 999 rather than 101. But someone on a bike is going to come a cropper soon. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Report it again and say you saw a pregnant woman slip in it 3 weeks ago a pregnant lady stumbled (didn't fall) on a slight pothole outside my neighbours house. My neighbour reported it, explained what happened and the next day someone came round, made some measurements and sprayed some signs on the path. Two days later the entire pathway for approx 6 houses was dug up and the day after it had been re-tarmacced!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally about to leave dry dock and then just 3 more days while they(we) fix everything they broke. Looking good, should save a few tonnes of fuel with the slippery new paint job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this app works because everyone else using the app can report it too if they see it and you can post results. Tend to get a better respo se than just contacting the council. Other than that local Councillors just hound them via email etc to sort it out. https://www.fixmystreet.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of a biker who crashed on this corner a few years back on gravel. It must be something to do with the layout of the road how gravel collects in the same area. He suffered life changing injuries and never rode again. I'd clear it myself but it's on a blind bend and working in the road is dangerous. I might get some florescent spray and colour it to draw attention to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why am I not surprised? Well I think that says it all they don't want people to know what they don't do. Next stop local councillors or the media maybe. I think some motoring groups will also help if you contact them they like shaming authorities. I'm not into social media but wife uses twitter a lot and normally tends to get a response.

S-Westerly Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Good morning from sunny China where our planned escape yesterday was cancelled when we lost all lubrication to the engine. Turns out the newly overhauled lube pumps were blocked with rags. Now authorities are in a snit and they are arguing about whether we can go today or tomorrow. I hate this bloody place. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
