Thank you for your enquiry. This issue has been passed onto the relevant team for investigation.

This needs sorting out SODC . Dont "investigate" it, then close the report telling us that its been done.

It's actually outside Mill Cottage NOT Hillside
-
The road surface is in such a state of disrepair it poses a significant danger to road users. It narrows the available carriageway to such an extent that cyclists or drivers of anything but a landrover need to be in the middle/on the right of the carriageway.
The landowner is committing an offence under the Highway Act 1980 and I am surprised you are not protecting your highway rights by pursuing this.

If this is still an issue, if possible and safe to do so, could you please provide any new images and detailed location information of the issue so we can get this raised for repair faster. Many thanks and kind regards

Yes, water still running down the road, and continuing to erode the road surface, which also now needs the holes and ruts repairing

There's not much flow at present because it's been dry, but the photos show the property from where the water usually flows with the wooden fence and the extent of damage further down the road
