2 vans parked on a pavement, 26th February
2 vans parked on a pavement on a corner to a cul-de-sac entrance. Can’t get a pram past, have to use the road, as they are blocking the pavement. Can’t even see around the corner as coming into the cul-de-sac as the view is blocked by this van. They park here every day, as they live on the street but use their van to park on the pavement.

Inconsiderate parking outside my back gate!, 11th October
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!

Unlit street light, 26th January
The street light number 7 on St James Street is not working and hasn't been for some time. Due to it not working it is leaving the alleyway that leads to Chapelstead in complete darkness as no action has been taken on previous reports of trees blocking the street lamp part way down the alleyway. As this issue creates a possible location that criminals could utilise the issue has also been reported via police.uk streetsafetool.com

Overgrown bushes, 18th October
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
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.

Road design broken, mile of congestion, 7th October
The road design is awful, people can’t turn out properly and the way it’s filtered is awful, if three people go right, you have to wait for them to move, they move, the lights go red, you end up waiting in a queue for 20 minutes, needs fixing desperately
