Significant ponding occurs everytime rain falls at the ONLY controlled crossing on the A30 used by a high volume of children / school pupils travelling to / from the two schools in Hook. Kids / pupils are constantly having to try and jump the ponding and negotiate the ponding at the same time the signals count down, somtimes leaving crossing children / pupils / parents scrambling through the water in order to avoind being knocked down. During inclement and freezing conditions this becomes even more treacherous and not only are cars having to negotiate the potential ice, so are children / kids / parents. Ponding also occurs on the other side of the road at the access to Merityre. These combined makes it near impossible to avoid being covered in water by cars negotiating that section of road. There are a few gullies that appear blocked for the crossing point so hopefully cleaning the surrounding gullies may help drain the surface water but I'm not sure there is a gully outside Merityre so one may need installing there to overcome the ponding issue. I have more pictures of the issues but am limited on fixmystreet to the number of pictures I can put on here. I'll happily provide more if requested. Kind Regards

I'm not sure I'm reading this correctly but why is the status changed to "no further action"? The gullies need cleaning at the very least. This ponding causes significant issues for both pedestrians and vehicles, and this will only get worse when it freezes! Hampshire CC need to fix this!

Still lots of flooding taking place here, and with winter coming it become even more dangerous when it freezes, people could fall over and cars could lose control, resulting in personal injuries or even worse, vehicle to people collisions.
