Road, 8th April
Hello as you drive up Colchester road and at the traffic lights at the top as you turn LEFT onto Uppingham road, the road is uneven. It’s causes cars to immediately slow down and can cause accidents. There’s actually two parts of it uneven with 1 meter distance. Thanks

N/a, 24th March
Hello, we need a speed camera at the bottom of Colchester road but before the traffic lights. Too many large Lorries and trucks and cars speed down the road. When large trucks are speeding down the road it causes all our houses to vibrate. We are all fed up. I am writing this on behalf of the residents of Colchester road. Please do something about this.

Verge not maintained, 21st March
The local authority managed grass verge has tree branches left on there for a number of months from when trees have been trimmed by the local authority. Also the tarmacadam area of the verge is prone to flooding as it extremely uneven. I would respectfully request that the branches are cleared away as they are unsightly aswell as being a possible nesting site for vermin. Secondo would like that Highways or whomever maintains the verges contacts the homeowner at 417 Uppingham Road to discuss the renovation of the tarmacadam area as this leads to a private driveway.

House Shakes/Vibrates, 15th March
I have recently moved to this property and been noticing that the house tends to shake/vibrate each time a vehicle pass by the humps near the bus stop. My first guess was to be the water flow underneath but then I noticed it was happening only when the vehicles pass the humps.

Rocks damaging my car, 8th March
These rocks have been placed on the grass verge for over a year and the rock on the left has been placed significantly closer to my side of the property.
We have cars with low bumpers and every time, we try to reverse and come out of the driveway, the splitter and bumper gets trapped and damages our car , and impeded our safety.
Everytime, we try to move it towards the centre to make it symmetrical to the rock on the far right hand side, someone puts it back to our side to deliberately cause harm to our cars.
We paid over a grand to the council to get a dropped kerb , not to experience this every day stress in the morning.
Moreover, this is a private road, no other houses have rocks placed outside. I would like an explanation of why is this kind of act is allowed? Will the council pay for our damages?

Tree, 6th February
Hello, the tree on the pavement at 10 marydene drive needs cutting back, as cars are parked on the left side and when school double decker comes down towards the school it needs space to come on the other side of road to avoid hitting tree and making branches fall on to the road. Many thanks

Traffic lights, 6th February
Hello, these traffic lights on marydene drive need to be re adjusted, as a single lane road, we have lights that turn green at different times cause traffic, eg the light is green but most cars want to go straight or right instead of left which causes big build up of traffic on marydene drive and could become hazard to children as then drivers want to zoom to not miss the lights as they then change back to red to fast. Please look at trying to make these lights turn green TOGTHER, to make traffic on marydene drive flow with the safety of children and cars. Thank you
