Inconsiderate parking outside my back gate!, 11th October

Wed, 11 Oct 2023 12:03:44 +0100
53.518845 -2.504791

Neighbour and his friends are causing me stress as im unable to repair my garden or put my bins out and even use the back gate entrance most times due to his and his mates inconsiderate parking, And respect for others. Left a polite notice on his mates vehicle to please not obstruct and please park better but his mate attempted to throw it back in my yard before the cardboard hitting him in the face. Karma. Its a shared residential alleyway, but the parking, just my gate is being abused. Ive had threats from him/neighbour of smashing my windows after confronting him. But police did nothing. Whats the point. We are polite people but it seems useless in modern society!

The street light number 7 on St James Street is not working and hasn't been for some time.

Ongoing issue with cars parking on the pavement on the approach to Hindley Road Post Office. There is no way to pass on the PEDESTRIAN pavement with a pushchair or wheelchair and causes a major problem for the visually impaired. The only way to pass these vehicles is to go onto the road, which is often used by speeding motorists including HGVs, which put the lives of other road users at risk.

Overgrown bushes, 18th October

53.533022 -2.519816

Overgrown bushes are blocking the streetlamp from lighting up the pathway between St James Street and Chapelstead. The dark pathway is a danger to the public and gives drug dealers the opportunity to be unseen. More people will be using the pathway during hours of darkness and rely on streetlamps for their safety and so they can avoid the discarded packages left by irresponsible dog owners.

Vehicles park blocking pavement, 18th October

Tue, 18 Oct 2022 01:03:42 +0100
53.533491 -2.519011

The pavement on St James Street is not passable on foot, with a push chair or wheelchair. The main problem occurs when there is an event on at the cricket club or a game at the football club. Their car parks aren't big enough so visitors abandon their cars on the pavement which not only blocks the pavement but because the road is so narrow also causes issues for residents as the access to the road in their own vehicles is obstructed.
