Sent to Cheshire East Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 4153837.
Heavy lorries continue to transport load after load of soil onto fields at Lea Farm and as far as I can see there has been no attempt to clean the Road. The lories, in passing each other as well as regular traffic, have badly damaged the verges and sides of the road such that deep ruts have been created at verges and mud has been spread over the road. Field gateways have been damaged where traffic is forced into them to allow the lories to pass.
I myself was forced to the side of the road this morning and very nearly ran into a deep rut filled with water. You may say that warning signs have been put out by the Council and that some aggregate has been put into the side of the road at one point but this is not, in my opinion, enough to prevent serious damage to vehicles.
It has been pointed out to me that it is the responsibility of the person causing mud/slurry to cover the read to clean it up but as I have said, this is not happening. There is no traffic control in place which would safeguard pedestrians, cyclists and cars at the narrow section of Wrinehill Road leading to my home at Lea Hall Farm Barns CW5 7NS.
If you are not able to implement or enforce action for cleaning and repairs to the road please let me know who is able to take immediate action. In these freezing conditions there is a grave danger of a series accident and injury.
