A bin lorry veered off the side of Slade Lane in Spring 2025. This has created a very dangerous ditch which cars, vans etc are now sliding into. The vehicles are having to be towed out by a recovery lorry. There us no ground to the other side of the ditch as the land drops down around 3 feet which is extremely hazardous for all vehicles. Please see images for the latest vehicle that got stuck just before Christmas. The Lane is a dead end which means the Lane is completely blocked once this happens.
