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?

Parking on a blind bend!, 17th December
Car parked fully on the path you cannot see oncoming vehicles as you come into the close. Dead end close with young children playing out you cannot see them very dangerous there will be an accident sooner or later. I have nearly been hit head on numerous times due to this vehicle. House has double driveway so no need to block the path or park on a blind bend? I'm not the only person this is affecting. Car belongs to number 1

Overhanging bushes/shivery Trees, 14th October
I originally reported this on 21st July and the problem is worse now as the bushes/shrubs and trees from the garden of 35 Valentine Road overhang the pavement of St Swithins Road and continue to grow even further out with thorns and branches at head height. The people who live in the house have cleared the garden inside but have made no attempt to cut back the outside that is causing a major issue and making it near impossible now to walk on the footpath with out getting scratched or stuck on the bushes
