Road in Focus - Ifield Road

Between the Horsham Road junction and the town centre, Ifield Road is in reasonable condition. However, the rest of it leaves a lot to be desired. After contact from West Green, we went out to look at the problems in one stretch - between Church Road and Albany Road.


Image 1: Westbound just past the barbers and opposite Smalls Mead. Hole at edge of road. Looks like an old repair following works is failing.

Image 2: Eastbound at junction with Smalls Mead. Foreground shows holes at side of road and where the different surfaces of the two roads meet. In the background (not too clear), surface has several dips about 2 foot from the kerb. (Images 1&2 reported to WSCC under reference WSEK-7HDQ6P)


Image 3: Junction with Princess Road. A deep hole here which is right in the path of the wheels of any vehicle turning left into Princess Road. (reported to WSCC under ref WSEK-7HDQA2)
Image 4: From Leopold Road across, looking north. The metal covers in the foreground are set very low in the roadway. In the background by the kerb is a pothole with weeds growing in it. (Reported to WSCC under reference WSEK-7HDQCP)

And then we get to Albany Road, which needs a post for itself...
