Parking on double lines and in the yellow box junction, 13th April
There's constant parking in the yellow box junction and at the end of Aspinall Street, although there are double yellow lines. It is getting ridiculous.
I understand people are being dropped off and picked up, which is ok as it is the city centre of Prescot, but they park their vehicles and go in town for hours. Sometimes lorries who are delivering goods daily can't enter or exit and they have to wait for the owners dozens of minutes, which is frustrating.
There is a no stopping zone Monday - Saturday 8AM - 7PM (I think) and many people park here sometimes a whole day. If they park outside those times then it's ok but in that time frame this road is busy as it is. Single yellow line, double yellow, box junction, people park as they please regardless if they're allowed or not. And some of us live on this street and we have private parking available but sometimes those parking spaces are taken as well!?!!
This has been going on for over a year and sometimes we can't get the bins out because there's vehicle parking on tge pavement.
Is there a solution?

This was fixed for one day and then broke again. It’s As you come off the A58 towards St Helen's the is a speed limit / not entry sign on the left hand side at the roundabout the light is not working. Also for some reason it’s not showing on the Knowsley lighting website so can’t report that way. I believe it’s 17A and the sign opposite is 16A

Mud on Warrington Road Prescot from Taylor Wimpey, 8th March
Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Environmental Damage Caused by Mud Deposits on A57 Road in Prescot
I am writing to raise a formal complaint regarding the environmental damage caused by the excessive mud deposits on the A57 road in Prescot, resulting from the construction works carried out by Taylor Wimpey at their site. The persistent issue of mud being left on the road not only poses a safety hazard to motorists and pedestrians but also constitutes a clear breach of both the Environmental Protection Act and the Building Regulations.
The constant presence of mud on the A57 road in Prescot is a significant cause for concern as it not only diminishes the aesthetics of the area but also poses a serious risk to public safety. The accumulation of mud on the road creates slippery conditions, particularly during wet weather, which can lead to hazardous driving conditions and an increased likelihood of accidents. Furthermore, pedestrians using the footpaths adjacent to the road are also at risk of slipping and sustaining injuries due to the mud being left unattended.
It is evident that the construction works being carried out by Taylor Wimpey at their site are the primary source of the mud deposits on the A57 road. As a responsible developer, Taylor Wimpey has a duty to ensure that their construction activities do not result in environmental harm or disruption to the local community. It is clear that the excessive mud being left on the road is a direct consequence of inadequate soil erosion control measures and a lack of proper maintenance by the construction site personnel.
The Environmental Protection Act 1990 places a legal obligation on individuals and organizations to take all reasonable measures to prevent pollution of the environment, including the contamination of watercourses and roadways with mud and other construction-related materials. Additionally, the Building Regulations set out specific requirements for construction sites to mitigate the environmental impact of their activities, including the implementation of effective sediment control measures to prevent soil erosion and the deposition of mud on public roads.
Therefore, I urge the relevant authorities to investigate this matter promptly and take enforcement action against Taylor Wimpey for their failure to comply with the environmental regulations and building requirements. It is imperative that immediate steps are taken to address the issue of mud deposits on the A57 road in Prescot, including the implementation of robust mud management practices by the construction site personnel and the regular cleaning and maintenance of the affected road sections.
In conclusion, the ongoing environmental damage caused by the mud deposits on the A57 road in Prescot cannot be overlooked, and urgent intervention is required to rectify this situation. I trust that the authorities will take appropriate action to hold Taylor Wimpey accountable for their actions and ensure that such environmental violations are not repeated in the future.

Rats on Path from Speakman, 24th February
I am writing to bring to your attention a severe and persistent issue of rat infestation in the area accessible via Speakman Way to the Cables retail park/Steley Way. It has come to my notice that the overgrown vegetation in this public right of way has provided a conducive environment for rats to thrive. As a concerned member of the community, I am seriously alarmed by the potential public health risks posed by the uncontrolled rat population in this area.
The presence of rats in this vicinity is not only a nuisance but also a significant public health concern. Rats are known carriers of various diseases, including leptospirosis, salmonellosis, and hantavirus, which can be transmitted to humans through contact with rat droppings, urine, or bites. Moreover, their presence can also lead to property damage, contamination of food sources, and a decrease in the overall quality of life for residents in the vicinity.
According to the legislation for public health and control of pests, local authorities, such as Knowsley Council, have a responsibility to ensure that areas prone to pest infestations are adequately managed and maintained to protect public health and safety. The Environmental Protection Act 1990 specifically outlines the duty of local authorities to take appropriate action to prevent or control infestations of pests, such as rats, in public spaces.
It is concerning to note that the overgrown area along the path from Speakman Way to the Cables retail park/Steley Way has become a breeding ground for rats, with live sightings reported by residents. Furthermore, a distressing incident was recently witnessed where a rat was killed by a local cat in the vicinity, indicating the severity of the infestation. It is evident that urgent intervention is required to address this issue effectively.
I urge Knowsley Council to take immediate action to address the rat infestation in the area and minimize the environmental damage and potential health hazards posed by these rodents. This may include conducting a thorough assessment of the site, implementing pest control measures, and clearing the overgrown vegetation that serves as a habitat for rats.
The inaction or delay in addressing this issue not only poses a risk to public health but also reflects poorly on the council's commitment to maintaining a safe and hygienic environment for residents. Therefore, I implore Knowsley Council to prioritize this matter and take prompt remedial action to safeguard the well-being of the community.
