Fast growing weed (tree) at risk of damage to wall & fence at Grosvenor yard car park, 6th May
The weed (tree) is growing next to the wall / fence that the council recently restored. Unfortunately the contractors tgat undertook the work to build the wall and install fence on top of the wall didn’t remove the tree (weed) that would have been a small sapling at the time that the work was undertaken recently. If the tree (weed) is not carefully removed soon, the tree will damage the wall and fence to the council’s wall, and the boarding fence that forms the cartilage to Abernant drive.
Outcome required | the council should arrange the tree (weed) to be carefully removed (roots included) asap to ensure that there is no damage to the wall & fence.
I look forward to receiving an update from you soon.

Shingle / stones displaced from plant beds!, 6th May
West Suffolk Council installed two plant beds in Grosvenor car park. However, the council, sic, did not plant appropriate plants to grow, so weeds grew in the plant beds! After escalating this problem and asking the council, sic, to remove the weeds and plant appropriate perennial plants, the council, sic, removed the weeds and installed stone pebbles! As you can see from the photo, vehicles are driving over the plant beds which is causing the pebbles to be displaced and dispersed across the tarmac road surface. This is a problem! 1. Moving vehicles - or pedestrians - may cause stone pebbles to be projected onto parked vehicles causing damage such as broken windows or chipped paint on bodywork! (This is a financial risk to the taxpayer!). 2. The council, sic, is not supporting environmental greening by its decision to remove the plants! Plants capture CO2; and plants prevent air heating (concrete, tarmac & stone surfaces reflect the sun’s energy to heat the air); the council should support the growing of maximum amount of plants to capture CO2; cheaper than solar panels!).
Outcome required. I kindly request that the council, sic, kindly removes the stone pebbles and replaces them with appropriate perennial plants.
I look forward to receiving your reply asap.

No Left Turn sign missing, 30th April
A14 / A142 signage issue that needs urgent attention. The No Left Turn sign has disappeared from the A142 bridge over the A14 (probably not replaced by contractors working on the bridge last year). I've can supply a photo of what it used to look like if required. The sign has become illegible in the past, leading to vehicles travelling on the A142 from Newmarket to take the A14 (Eastbound) slip road instead of turning into Windmill Hill (heading for Exning) - which is obviously very dangerous.

Sign missing, 11th March
At approx 2155 on 11 Mar 24 on entering the night roadworks onto the A14 there are no speed limit signs as you enter the slip road denoting a 40 mph limit. This means that users entering the A14 would still believe it is National speed limit. The last speed sign visible is National speed limit and a double clear way sign as you enter the slip lane. This would suggest a National speed limit. The first road sign denoting a 40mph limit is a speed repeater sign some distance onto the A14. Immediately after the first speed sign there is a police speed camera van which will be measuring road users speed who will not be aware of the fact it is 40mph until is too late. In addition, the number of roadwork vehicles transiting on the works lane with all their lights flashing and bright spot lights is a distraction from any road markings and signs.
In order to ensure road users are aware of the speed limit and to protect the work force, a 40mph sign should be positioned on the slip road at the location marked to ensure users entering the A14 are aware of the speed limit reduction.
