Road leading to Chase House nursing home Arlesey from House Lane

Reported via mobile in the Road Potholes category anonymously at 13:50, Fri 1 November 2024

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 413935.

The track is classed as agricultural but is constantly being used by ambulances and other medical visitors. The track is in a constant state of huge potholes which get filled and wash away with the first rain. It was and is still being used by construction workers for the development on the council land behind the nursing home. This has led to a faster decomposition. The road that directly accesses the relief road would provide a better access but is barricaded. Would this not make more sense? Chase house has not been a farm for many many years and now the land is not agricultural please please make a suitable access that ambulances don't dread and patients don't suffer. Either open alternative access or do something with the track that makes the most vulnerable people suffer more than they need.
