Tue, 17 Oct 2023 10:28:28 +0100
52.138766 1.032319

Inspection pit on Highways verge has been blocked for at least four months, which means that water from surface water drain goes straight on the road on a hazardous bend. As the autumn rains arrive this poses a significant danger.

Request for tree preservation order (TP0), 30th April

Fri, 30 Apr 2021 21:41:53 +0100
52.153295 1.042124

These mature Cedar of Lebanon trees are two of a group of three (the other is at the end of Burton Drive approximately 200 yards away). All three are outstanding in the landscape (on the edge of Needham Market, visible for considerable distance). It is likely they were planted by the Reverend Robert Uvedale, the noted botanist who I understand was rector of Barking Church from 1699 to 1723 and who is reputed to have introduced the Cedar of Lebanon tree to England (including those in Barking churchyard) – they are therefore of particular historic interest to the town. I am requesting a TPO for the above three trees, the two photographed being at particular risk as they are showing significant signs of neglect including probable damage to roots by annual ploughing closer to the trees than the spread of the canopy, and lower branches frequently broken off in recent years. Cedars of Lebanon generally live for 600 years or more so these are only half way through their life.

Pot Holes and running water, 10th February

Tue, 10 Feb 2015 10:54:08 +0000
52.151412448497 1.03907210583495

Several pot holes in Barretts Lane Needham Market just before Brick Kiln Mobile Home Park. These are all close together and cause a lot of problems manoeuvring around them - in a lot of cases you can't. There is water running down here and it has been like it for at least 2 years and nothing seem to be being done about it. This section of road is dangerous when walking especially when icy. The council seems to have washed their hands of the responsibility but still take our council tax.

There are several deposits of dog mess along this footpath, the owners think that by allowing their dogs to go in the leaves that have built up along this footpath it's acceptable. It is not. Also people occasionally pick it up and throw the bag in the bushes.
