AN ANGERED resident says there is "an accident waiting to happen" on his road due to the amount of muck and mud being dragged on by lorries.

Mark Lee who lives in Bluebell Cottage, Howe Lane, Binfield objected to Felix Farm Fisheries development plans in 2015 due to the amount of traffic chaos and mud it would bring onto the roads.

The plans were refused by Binfield Parish Council for the same reasons.

However, they were approved on the basis there would be time restrictions in place for lorries driving in and out of the development onto the road.

Mr Lee said: "The land is essentially a flood plain, the river behind the houses has been flooded in the past and so has the road.

"Also, the lorries drive in and out, dragging mud onto the roads. If you come down this lane you'll need your car washed. I am not educated enough with things but I know what is wrong and that is wrong."

Bracknell Forest Council were contacted for a comment on the situation at Howe Lane and they said it is their "priority to ensure the safety of road users".

Andrew Hunter, director of place, planning and regeneration, said: “Following the concerns raised by a local resident, we instructed an inspector to visit Howe Lane in Binfield to assess the situation.

"We have spoken to the site foreman and asked for this area of road to be cleaned as a priority to ensure the safety of road users and for mud warning signs to be put in place. "On further inspection on Saturday, 23 November the roads had been adequately cleaned but we will continue to monitor periodically until the work is complete.

“Developers and farmers have a duty of care to ensure any excess mud on the road caused by their activities is cleaned regularly.

"However, concerned residents can log any such reports at: https://www.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/street-cleaning/sweeping.”

Currently, Howe Lane is used for access into the fishery farm and an existing dairy farm, which expects around 20 lorries driving down the road each day.

Before development plans were submitted, a consideration for wheel washing was put in place to prevent mud from being spread onto the road.

The 61-year-old added: "It sounds better that the council want mud signs to be put in place. "But I think from the landowners, there is a huge disregard for residents and it all needs to be stopped.

"I've seen lorries speeding up and down all the time. I have seen cars ending up in ditches, its constantly an accident waiting to happen."
