Pile of burnt wood, 21st April
Saturday 20/04/2024 at approx 15.30 Two men dumped a lorry load of burnt wood on derelict ground behind my home. They said they would be back to tidy it up but they never returned. They said they have permission from the landowner to store materials there. It looks an eyesore and a fire risk.

No active or passive pedestrian crossings for 2 primary schools, 4th March
In early 2022 the school crossing patrol for pupils attending Ysgol Gymraeg Trelyn and Pengam Primary (essentially opposite each other along Commercial Street) retired. She was not replaced and Caerphilly Council's assessment found that children did not require a safe method of crossing this road, despite endemic speeding and dangerous driving, illegal parking, frequent HGV usage etc.
An elderly lady was killed just down the road from here after being run over by a man driving dangerously just a couple of weeks ago in 2/24, indicating how urgent this issue is. Caerphilly Council still refuse to provide a safe method of crossing this road despite this tragedy, and pupils are endangered unnecessarily.
An ideal solution would be to install traffic lights to enable safe crossing along Commercial Street between the schools with an SCP assisting children as needed. This would also help with the issue of speeding. Failing that, a pedestrian crossing would still be an improvement on the current situation.

Parking at end of hill view, 11th December
Commerical vehicles being parked for days and not moving then taking up valuable spaces for other residents which causes them to park unorthodox, where cars come down and up the road, will cause an accident sooner down the line.

Blocked gully in road, 14th October
This is ongoing but particularly bad coming into winter as it freezes and causes sheet black ice. It’s on the junction of Gordon road and Gordon Close, Blackwood and because it’s on a hill the water/ice streams across and down the road where the footpath ends and you have to start walking on it. Many Thanks

Stream leak is causing a constant river down the street, 18th April
There’s a small stream next to the street, I believe its now leaking straight down the street.. This is causing the whole street to get extremely dirty, it never dries up and I believe it is what is causing huge potholes at the bottom of the street. Can this be looked at asap please.

Multiple 2ft+ potholes, near railway bridge, 18th April
The council came to ‘fix’ some huge potholes in my street a couple of weeks ago.. All they did was chuck some gravel in the holes, now they are twice the size, the whole lane is absolutely bogging with mud and gravel. The whole section of tarmac needs redoing as soon as possible, its starting to damage my new car and I’ll be sending the invoices straight to the council if this isn’t rectified. The photos attached are from just a day after it was fixed. They’re much larger now.
