Every three years or so we have to shout to get the road repaired. It should be the duty of the trustees of the Estate to ensure the road is maintained in a safe good order. Although a private estate it is open to the public but the local council do not want to know - even though they actively promote the area for tourism.
A suggestion is to start charging for the road's upkeep - AFTER it has been completely renovated - with all house owners contributing, say £20 per year and local businesses, say £150.00. Income, for the trustees, is obtained from film companies and a sum from that should be added to the 'road fund' - together with an equal amount from the local council!

Sorry to hear about the road but sadly it will have to go on the back burner as we are all "tightening our belts" as it were. Putting up a few hand made signs to "drive with extra care" might help the motorist - we are all lucky to have such a natural wild life reserve. It would be great to visit someday.
