Potholes/large puddle of water
Reported in the Potholes category by Harold and Olive Millar at 12:19, Tuesday 10 February 2009
Sent to Falkirk Council less than a minute later
At the corner of Lionthorn Road and Glengarry Crescent the road has become very cut up and the water is collecting in a large puddle and not draining away. With the very frosty/snowy weather the water has turned to ice making driving around this corner extremely hazardous. The road needs to be resurfaced due to the large amount of area broken up and the drainage looked at as there is water collecting in the holes and not getting away. Thank you for fixing it for us we really appreciate all the work you do for us.
UPDATE FROM THE COUNCIL -------------------------
The problem at the junction is as a result of poor reinstatement work by public utilitys or more likely remedial work carried out by the developer.
I intend to fill the depressions and holes in the surface in the next 2 weeks. It is likely that this will be an interim measure which will fill the holes and reduce the ponding. I also intend to carry out a level survey and check the ponding problems after rain as there are a number of patches which appears to have affected the road drainage. Once this work is completed I will be in a position to determine how much patching is required. I trust that this information is satisfactory meantime

Potholes are one thing, but their cause is not only utilities companies digging up the road. The speed at which SUV's, 4X4's and commercial vehicles travel along the main thoroughfare is frightening and can only degrade the existing speed restricting measures in place. I believe that, despite how well they were initally planned or concieved, the current traffic calming measures are woefully inadequate. I appeal to anybody who is of similar opinion and I hope to muster support for the current traffic calming measures to be reappraised both in the main arterial roads and those within the main estates.
