Mattress dumped in the 2nd passing place on the right hand side going up Willowpit Lane, 23rd June

Fri, 23 Jun 2023 06:09:38 +0100
52.885242 -1.62516

Mattress dumped yesterday 22/6 during the day in the same place as the turf/soil/plastic sack but thrown into the hedge. As said before you need a camera here as the number of incidents is ridiculous. Maybe it would help if the signs were replaced saying it is a passing place. Too many vehicles use it inappropriately as a parking place which makes it impossible for traffic to pass without using the verge as it is a single track lane!

Tree Preservation Order application, 24th April

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 20:17:14 +0100
52.871307 -1.632929

The trees situated on the Public Open Space area provide significant amenity value to local residents, not least by softening the urban environment and providing a visual screen between properties in the area. The trees provide considerable social benefit to many of the local community through their contribution to the local landscape. The trees also provide an important habitat to local wildlife, particularly nesting and migrating birds, squirrels and possibly bats, with pipistrelle bats often seen in the area.

52.871443 -1.632926

There are 7 beautiful trees of multiple species in this small area that add significant amenity value to the area (due partly to their beauty) giving enjoyment to the local residents plus are used by wildlife including squirrels and birds of various species for nesting and roosting including song birds and quite often a couple birds of prey! (i am no bird expert so forgive me for not knowing the species). . 2 healthy trees have already been completely removed from this area including a beautiful and very healthy Cherry that the contractor that was tasked with removing advised was a huge shame to lose.

Owl development, Hilton, Derby, 24th October

Mon, 24 Oct 2022 10:18:50 +0100
52.866404 -1.617253

New estate not yet adopted, completed apart from road tarmac. Water is standing below the raised manholes resulting in significant problems for residents and tradesmen. As & when this becomes frozen in the weeks ahead then a serious risk of injury is obvious. The most flooded junction is on the entry to Eggington Road, very busy. I’m a local tradesman and this small estate is a nightmare to navigate, raised manholes, kerbs and standing water etc. Please can this be resolved for all users.

This or another car repeatedly park on the grass verge opposite the poor parking outside the precinct on Chestnut Grove. The vehicle restricts my view out of my drove both on foot or in a vehicle and is parked close to the busy junction with The Bancroft and a pedestrian crossing area. This part of the road should be marked with double yellow lines so that visibility is maintained for pedestrians and drivers

This tree was blown over in the storms weeks ago. When crossing from that side of the road on the pedestrian ramp, a clear view to the right cannot be obtained. This is particularly unsafe when walking with a pushchair etc. would have thought that it could have been at least felled to ground level by now.
