Repaint road markings, 18th March

Mon, 18 Mar 2024 20:18:55 +0000
50.747924 -1.952124

Road markings separating the right turn waiting area and the carriageway nearest Tower Park need repainting. Too many vehicles are avoiding the potholes near the kerb and encroaching into the right turn area. Today there was a crash at this junction. Last week I had a near head-on because a driver turned left onto Yarrow Road carelessly. She entered the right turn area I was approaching in. The separating white line has been worn away.

We have a large sycamore tree in our back garden which we would like to be protected. we have over the last 10 years watched people remove the trees from their gardens and been approached to do the same with ours. We have had it checked, recently, and been told that it's a very healthy tree; therefore, as one of the only large trees left standing in our road, we would like to know if it can be protected?

This top turning circle of the close has developed erosion of the road and holes have grown larger due to large lorries stopping, then turning the wheels to reverse to get round. This action is churning up the road and very damaging. It has got so much worse this past 6 months

Dangerous double roundabout, 15th March

50.745982 -1.942944

Try using this in the morning, during a school run, evening rush hour or the weekend.. The roundabout itself is too small with a tiny mound that drivers go straight over. Constant queues mean that people misjudge moving traffic and just block it instead. Traffic lights needed, much safer.

Rat infestation!, 3rd November

50.747156 -1.941709

Rats everywhere! There are neighbours on this side of the road who have chickens and others who feed birds so rats are in their element! Pest control services advise that we all have bait boxes with poison in our gardens and seal up our homes. Ive noticed that someone else has reported this here which shows how bad it must be and its not just me. Ive emailed the council to see if they can help.

Rats in the area :( you sometimes see them at night down the driveways but now we have one in our house! We should be able to leave our doors open and enjoy the hot weather, when the factory isnt polluting our air, but now we cant even do that!! Our neighbours have also had rats so its not just us.

Fed up of this constant tar like chemical smell in the air that seems to be coming from the factory behind. Its usually at its worst in the morning and clears around 1300. Have to keep all windows shut over night and throughout day otherwise the house stinks as well! Cant even use the back garden :( Been years of putting up with this. No use reporting it as by the time someone comes out the smell has cleared. Not healthy, im fed up.
