FIXMYSTREET IN M7 3GW
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of M7 3GW:
IX Wireless telegraph pole 1ft from wall, 5th March
This is a narrow road, and a bus route - so people do park up on the kerbs to allow traffic to pass. IX Wireless have made a narrow pavement even more narrow by not placing the pole up against the wall. This makes the area harder than it needs to be to navigate with prams / children.

Streets in Prestwich covered in mud and leaves, 3rd March
Constantly filthy and very slippery. Do the council not have any capability to ckean streets anymore? Bury New Road particularly bad pretty much from Salford to Prestwich village. Looks a disgrace

Massive pothole, 15th February
This pothole has been here for a month. It is very deep. It started when United Utilities brought their heavy machinery to fix a water leak.
I had to move the big pieces of broken tarmac to the side of the road.
Please fix asap as I accidentally walked into it when I was crossing the road at night.

A number of potholes at the end of Meadfoot Avenue, 14th February
At the end of Meadfoot Avenue, where it meets Bishops Road, there have appeared a number of potholes, including a number around a metal drain cover, which then is becoming a tyre risk with exposed metal sharp corners. These potholes have grown after the snowy weather. They all need to be filled in properly before they grow any larger.

Blocked Pavements on Overbrook Drive Prestwich, 4th February
Getting bored of reporting this one, but bins at numbers 1 through 7 (and 4a) have been persistently left out for years now, last time I passed I counted 20 bins out, not even on a bin day and one is a big commercial box bin. Residents and coffee sack crowd compound the problem parking on the pavements and forcing pedestrians to walk into the road which is a racers rat run for the red lights on Scholes Lane.

Blocked culvert leading to flood and path errosion, 29th December
The culvert under the bridge is blocked. You can see how much water has backed up behind it, it's then found a way around whereby it has flooded the land next to it and then began flowing over the path further down. This is eroding the path, and has already led to a significant area of land next to the path to be washed away.

Streetlight shines directly into bedroom, 1st December
The streetlight across the road from our house shines directly into bedroom and is affecting our sleep, please install a shield or some kind of diffuser. It's also a bright white light which is detrimental to insect populations. We have tried blackout curtains but the light still comes in around the edges and I don't think it's acceptable that the light is shining right into our house when it only really needs to illuminate the pavement/road. Thank you for your help with this.

Can never park!!, 30th November
I can park outside or near my property! It’s becoming abit of a joke considering I have a disabled child who is now 14 years old.
I’m having to carry him to and from the house because I’m having to park up the street or on the next street because I can’t park near mine! I need a disabled bay or a permit or something!! It’s ridiculous! We have a boy in a wheelchair! Action needs to be taken and fast!
