Loose noisy manhole cover in road, 16th March
The manhole cover outside my house (89) is loose and causes a loud noise when driven over. As this is a main road this noise continues well into the night, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. I can see my neighbours at 87 reported this problem a couple of months ago.

Intersection improvement?, 15th March
Could anything be done to improve this intersection? Maybe a mini roundabout or traffic light? At peak times both Lexden Road and Glen Avenue can have heavy traffic, making it very hard for people on Glen Avenue to join Lexden Road, especially if they are making a right turn.

Speeding vehicles coming around the blind bend, 15th March
Drivers come around this blind bend way too fast. Many are speeding, but even those going at the 30mph speed limit are travelling way too fast for the road conditions, especially if school children are trying to cross the road. Can we please have a lower speed limit here? And could there be some consideration about how to get 2 pavements on this road (even if it means restricting motor traffic to one way)?

Terrible pedestrian infrastructure, 15th March
Can anything be done about the poor pedestrian infrastructure on this road. Near the lamppost, the only pavement (the other side of the road doesn’t have one at all) is extremely narrow. Far too narrow for a wheelchair or larger pram. If you come across an oncoming pedestrian, one person has to walk in the road. Glen Avenue has become a real rat run so there is a high volume of cars you then have to dodge as well. In a perfect world, I’d make this section of the road (between Acland Avenue and Lexden Rd) one way for cars with a contra flow cycle lane and pavements on each side wide enough for a wheelchair. The section between Acland Avenue and Elianore Road is probably already wide enough to fit a second pavement with a bit of re-arranging of road space. A 20mph speed limit on Glen Avenue would also be greatly appreciated.

Old van constantly blocking footpath, 12th February
This old van has no MOT and is driven by the company who own it every day. It has tax but it’s a wreck and unsafe to be driving about in. They park it right across the footpath outside our windows every day blocking our view completely and stopping people using the footpath. Please do something about it.

Loose manhole cover outside 87 Butt Road creating noise, 16th January
There is a loose manhole cover on the main road outside my house, which makes a loud clacking sound every time someone drives over it. This is a busy road, with continuous traffic at all hours, so the manhole noise is making it impossible to sleep and could also be dangerous.
