Residents turn to web in lane fight describes a set of problems reported on FixMyStreet.

A NARROW mountain lane has been damaged and turned into an “international playground” for 4×4s and satnav-guided lorries, angry villagers claimed yesterday.

one [resident] claimed the local authority had now been “embarrassed” into action by the complaints on fixmystreet.com
