The whole of Fernbank Road from the London Road traffic lights to the row of shops past Mill Ride is in a dire state. There are so many small patches which are continually washed away and large dips which flood. Please resurface the complete stretch of road as it is so dangerous for bikes.

The small patches were put in place after the snow had gone. There is no sign of any move to replace the surface. The response from the council was that the matter had been passed to the relevant department
The road surface is still very rutted and uneven with large dips near the traffic lights end of the road. The few patches are beginning to wear away again. A similar measure was tried outside the entrance to Mill Ride Golf club where the road is also pitted - this road has also not been properly resurfaced for many years. What does it take to get these roads overhauled?
Initial response from council following your message but just a few white markings on the road and the few small circle patches. No more news at all - the dips are becoming quite severe
A few more patches have appeared but the road itself still requires a proper resurface. I have emailed my local councillor who replied promptly that she would pass on my message to the relevant department at the council and contact me when she had anything to report. So far nothing.
