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.

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.
