On the road from Melton Ross to Bigby , on the hill going downwards just before entering Bigby, alongside woodland on the left.

The road, particularly the left side going downhill just before you enter Bigby is progressively getting worse. There is a series of rolling humps. They're not terribly obvious to look at, and that is part of the problem. If however you drive over them other than at a crawl the effect on the vehicle is marked and potentially damaging if someone's taken unawares. People are tending to move to the wrong side of carriageway if they know and the visibility is not great. . I think this needs addressing with some urgency - if someone just comes to visually inspect on foot this will fail to reveal the issue. You need to drive down the hill into Bigby at a normal speed,as if you were expecting a normal road. I suggest a warning sign, plus markings on the road surface would be a suitable temporary holding measure until the road can be rectified.

Has anything been done on this problem. We haven't been back for about three weeks after writing off one of our vehicles. After struggling to find out who we needed to report this to, we asked for signs to be put up. It is extremely dangerous. We couldn't understand what had caused the problem as there were no potholes but while we were inspecting the road a Landrover came by and nearly took off due to the uneven road it's like a switch back. Please put up some signage before someone is really injured or killed.
