Children playing on patch of grass next to bus stop and near busy road and outside properties., 13th March

Wed, 13 Mar 2024 13:23:57 +0000
53.771504 -2.75127

Group playing football causing damage to gardens, fences and causing distress and disruption to residents. Disrupting sleep when night workers, noise shouting, screaming. Threatening when confronted. Not going to local park which is a designated play area. Despite no ball games sign on one part, doesn't understand counts for entire space. Be better if grass was removed entirely and tarmaced for parking (which disabled residents nearby would benefit from as well as reduce on street parking which is very busy and would make bus route clearer).

Traffic light phasing causing huge traffic delays, 20th November

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 08:30:49 +0000
53.763882 -2.780986

The traffic light phasing of the lights onto the round about from Blackpool road and rivers way is very short. About 5 seconds on green then immediately red. This has only been happening recently. When the traffic lights were first put in the phasing was fine. About the last 2 weeks 6 Nov 2023 onwards. There is always a queue and it's chocker in the mornings. If you could have the phasing looked at that would be great ??

Council Workers Fly Tipping, 28th June

Tue, 28 Jun 2022 11:50:16 +0100
53.77154 -2.786568

I understand these purple bags are used by Council rubbish pickers, dumping them in the verge doesn't enhance the appearance of the area. Before you tell me these bags are collected later , this bag has been "hidden" here for over a week .I think the practice of leaving these bags on the road side is disgusting in any case , for any period of time.
