The speed bump at the entrance to meadoway in Church has a gaping hole under it. We weren't speeding but it still caused damage to our car

Re: Dodgy roads round Hyndburn List here please!
Stonebridge Lane in Oswaldtwistle, just near the bridge there is a large and deep pothole that is causing everyone to swerve onto the other side of the road on a bend.
Heys just off Stonebridge Lane in Oswaldtwistle, the whole road surface is crumbling away due to the extra traffic while Stonebridge Lane bridge was being repaired.
Lord Street in Oswaldtwistle, at the side of the Church, its more of a depression in the road but very nasty if you hit it, especially for anyone with an old fashioned type sprung suspension car .

Since New Lane has every known traffic calming measure known to man, including speeding cameras, speed signs that light up as you approach, chicanes, and a mini-roundabout, perhaps this is a secret measure to slow you down.....as you go past Cllr. Britcliffe's house.

Where are the chicanes? Do I just drive straight through them everyday without seeing them?

Yes, you must be driving to fast.
Please drive more slowly, speed kills....and keeps council leaders awake.

Last week coming home from work I could have had him on the bonnet twice. I am a nice friendly chap so I nodded and drove on. It made me thirsty seeing him walking out of the Black Dog and I was forced to sample a couple of tins when I got home. Does this mean that Peter is driving me to drink?

He was wearing a bonnet?
No wonder he has trouble crossing the road.

Re: Dodgy roads round Hyndburn List here please!
Well, Neil all I can say is that you live up to your motto (hover over the green squares and it says you are 'really nice' - although my english teacher at school said that nice was a very 'tired' word and should not be used in any circumstances).....if you can have PB in your sights and let him live then you must be a saint.....St. Neil....sounds like a supermarket brand!

Re: Dodgy roads round Hyndburn List here please!
I was about to put forward a speed hump at the bottom of Omorod St. which has an enormous hole in it and 100 metres further down, (outside Scaitcliffe House) a mini roundabout that is in very poor condition - HOWEVER - I've just passed the mini roundabout and it has now been meticulously repaired but alas the rest of Eagle St, and Omorod St. remains in a very poor condition.
I hope all you cynics out there don't think that the proximity of Scaitcliffe house had anything to do with the speed or quality of repair.
