The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of PL17 8ET:
Vehicles churning up grass and ruining the pavement, 13th February
For some time now, cars and work vehicles (at least one Plymouth Community Homes truck) have been driving over the pavement to park on the grass to the left of the entrance to the library. Each evening there are at least 5 vehicles parked on the grass, and as the weather has got worse, this has led to the vehicles churning up mud, and spreading it all over the pavement when they drive off. This has made the pavement unusable for several weeks now, as there's a severe slipping hazard, and no one in a wheelchair or with a pushchair/buggy can get past because of all the mud. I know this has been going on for a long time now, but it's getting absolutely ridiculous and the pavement is getting ruined. Can something be done to stop it please??

Rubbish left out and torn apart, 3rd July
This neighbour is a serial offender when it comes to leaving multiple bags of rubbish everywhere,and has required several clean ups, including one for human waste. These bags have been left for several days, and have already been picked over by the cats and seagulls. I suppose we should be glad that no human-excrement-covered wetwipes have made it out of the bags so far! If it could be cleaned up, before the detritus blows around even further, it would be very much appreciated by myself and my neighbours.

Potential drain problem, water leak, 2nd June
This puddle of water has been here for about 6 weeks, it never dries out. The drain to the left of it isn't blocked, so I don't think it's coming from there. It seems to be stagnant rather than moving. It is outside numbers 5 and 6 Coronation Close.

Parked on path with yellow lines, 14th February
This car has been left for nearly 3 weeks on the corner of Chapel Street and Moonsfield. It blocks the path and therfore children and elderly people have to walk in the road. The contents of the car have been removed since it was dumped. This is a likely target for vandelism and if set on fire will damage the adjacent property

About 50 cm wide deep pothole, 11th January
This pothole has been fixed before I think but everytime we have heavy rain it shows up again. It tends to fill up with water and then if you don't know it is there it just looks like a puddle and could cause damage.

Trees blocking new 40mph signs, 31st May
I noticed yesterday, whilst driving towards Callington, that the new 40 mph speed limit signs are very much hidden by overgrown trees, until you are right upon them. I think it would be a good idea to trim the trees back, so that people who may not be aware of the new signage and speed limit, aren't caught out.

Long hole in the road, 9th September
There is a long hole in the road on Church Street, at the junction of Compton Road and Zaggy Lane. It is long and thin, not like a "normal" pothole, and it's getting worse, deeper. I often cross the road there, from Compton Road to Zaggy Lane, in my wheelchair and if I'm not careful to go all the way around the hole, I nearly get thrown out of my chair. It's not especially easy to go around it though, as there are often cars coming from 4 different directions, so it would be really helpful if the hole was filled.

Stinging nettles and brambles blocking the pavement, 1st November
For a few months now, it has been impossible to get past this section of pavement in a wheelchair without being stung by the nettles or scratched by the brambles. They have taken over most of the pVament and show no signs of dying off. It is dangerous as it means you have to get off the pavement at the closest dropped kerb, which is around 75 metres away, and travel up the road instead, which given that its right on a sharp bend, isn't the safest thing.

Street light completely blocked by overgrown tree, 1st November
There is a very overgrown tree right next to the streetlight, it is touching it now and seems to be swallowing up the streetlight! It is very dark in this area even with the streetlight, as it isn't the brightest, but with the tree covering it it's now even worse. There is usually an argument over who's responsibility it is, but it needs sorting either way, as its causing a problem not just for local residents, but for locals who use the path as a cut through to town.
