Longslade Lane, Beds- whole stretch from Woburn Road to All Saints Church , Bow Brickhilll - Bedfordshire Council
Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 427029.
The whole length of this road has been collapsing over the past 18 months, and the road is falling away by approximately 2 feet at both sides, leaving the width of the road suitable for only one car. Passing vehicles, each side of the road, are forced off the crumbling tarmac into a significantly eroded drop of 8-10 inches. Most users are unaware and cannot move over or stop to avoid oncoming traffic, already causing small collisions and near misses. This is a risk to all road users and has already damaged cars/suspension/wheels and tyres, and could cause a cyclist or motorcyclist to come to serious harm. This needs to be addressed urgently before serious accidents are reported.
