Road improvements for Fodderdyke Bank & Hobhole Bank.
Contact the author of the petition
xh me and mum saw n accident waiting to happen involving the dangerous dip on fodderdyke bank, where the dip was filled with rain water, watching from my mums house we saw a lorry go through the water in the dip as another car was coming the other way at the same time, the lorry coverd the car completely with the water causeing then the van behind to break sharp, could of easy been an accident then. Also i noticed on the east side of hobhole bank, that going north the sigb says max speed 40 where as going south it says max speed 30, how can u go faster one way on the same bit if road, you cant even do 30!! Something seriously needs doing about these roads before anybody else does get hurt/killed!!!
The roads in this area have become more and more dangerous as the years have passed. People have lost their lives and some of us have witnessed these losses.
I have to warn my guests of the road condition before they drive here.
Surely it is worth repairing the roads now before more lives are lost.
The poor road surface is very dangerous on a dry clear day, add in heavy rain/ice/snow and the road surface is lethal.
This road is a nightmare, we dont use it at all, its safer to go a different route, why anyone except those who use it because they live there is beyond me, why kids use it late at night is bordering on stupidity, that said its a dangerous road and it needs sorting out, not just resurfacing but a complete skimming off and relevelling, NOW before anyone else gets hurt or killed!

I am signing this petition as I am Josh's mum he lost his life on this road on the 14th September.
The state of these roads have always been really bad and the council do nothing to ensure they are
Fit for safety.. The loss of my son is just the worst thing any family should have to endure, my son was a loving hard working lad, and was on his way to work that Sunday morning..
Please let this petition count and save another family from our pain and heartache... believe me if I had the money I would signal handedly repair to save anyone this pain..

Re: #15
Dear Joshes Mum so sorry for your loss. We have had 3 accidents with in about 3/4 weeks Joshes being one of them I have been working on this issue since then I am pleased to say people are taking notice and beginning to come forward and helping. Local press local radio, district Councillor and highways have all being informed. Yes something as got to be sorted and quick. The roads are of very poor repair and really really dangerous. Bless you and thank you Josh's Mum
I have damage to my truck and a puncture from this road - sent letter and invoices to the council and Highways and the reply I received was and I quote 'the majority of claims bought against lcc are successfully defended'
Absolutely useless
Disgraceful - such neglected roads
The road tax people pay and many other taxes is supposed to go towards repairing the roads. Each council has a duty of care to keep the roads repaired and safe to drive on. This road is so uneven and unsafe that the slightest bump or stone in the road will cause steering issues and in bad weather this will be fatal. Too many people have lost their lives on this road! It needs completely resurfacing and levelling.
