We have had several comments on the potholes appearing in Smithy Lane as it approaches Townhead Green, at the edge of the village. A lot of water runs down the Dale road and the Hilltop road, and also there seems to be a collapsed drain in the middle of the road adding to the water on the road. There is the perennial problem of ice here in winter on a blind bend, but the recent wet weather has meant a significant deterioration in the road surface. There is a danger now that drivers will be worrying about avoiding the potholes and not concentrating on whether anyone else is coming the other way. We have emailed this information to the County Council (http://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/transport_roads/).
However, what are your thoughts?


I think that we should all be concerned about the state of our roads & let this website know as well as DCC where the potholes etc are.
Peter via our email has reported the Smithy Lane holes & the details have been logged as below by the County.
The progress of this complaint can be tracked on their website http://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/track_your_enquiry/default.htm
So this site is not only fun & informative but together we can ensure that things get done.
