Dangerous black ice from residual flooding

Reported via desktop in the Roads/highways category anonymously at 15:14, Thu 11 January 2024

Sent to West Sussex County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5430177.

11 Jan On Limmer Lane (PO22) Felpham, West Sussex there remains a residual flood, from the drains, which have bubbled over frequently in the last few months of wet weather. This remains a terrible issue in itself (as the road is frequently blocked). What is being done about this???

Furthermore, due to this not being dealt with properly, the area near the drains, just near the bottom of the Midway/Wedgewood Road, the water has turned to black ice...

Mid morning, I was crossing the road and slipped over in the middle of the road. I hurt my hip.

A car was coming and swerved round me. As the black ice was an invisible sheet, he did not see it either, and could have slipped and hit me! There was some loose change on the road so I assume someone else had slipped before me too. There are lots of elderly and dog walkers around who may hurt themselves. This is highly dangerous.

Don't you think it should be gritted as a matter of priority? Shouldn't the flooding root issue be dealt with by now? Where are the black ice warning signs?

As I live nearby, when I drove out of the Midway first thing, my car tyres slipped too - please act immediately. I am a careful driver and not elderly as many of the Felpham residents.
