FIXMYSTREET IN RG30 4QH
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of RG30 4QH:
Dangerous and inconsiderate parking, 30th April
The residents at no 59 have three personal vehicles parked outside 59, 57 Gratwicke rd and a van on the corner of Blundell's Rd. They have tradespeople present today (and the last few days) who have parked immediately on the bend of Gratwicke and Blundells and outside 59 (house employing trades) and across no 57 Gratwicke's driveway, completely blocking the driveway. This bend requires caution when no one is parked there, with all of these vehicles it is now very dangerous. I live at 56 Gratwicke and have now experienced several near misses accessing my own driveway. I understand double yellow lines are in the process of being implemented but we are still potentially some months away, any assistance would be appreciated.

Shoddy grass cutting, 20th April
My expectations of the grass cutting on the verges last week should be it looks recently cut.... This time was there any point? It was cut on the highest setting which has literally taken of a cm? It's terrible that the grass is being cut and the contractor is literally just skimming, surely it's worth cutting right back short as it will be a few months until it's cut again?

Car blocking pavement, 4th April
This has been here at least since this morning and is still there now in the evening. It is completely blocking the pavement on that side so blind / hard of sight people and pushchairs have to go into the road to avoid it. There is room for cars to get past without them parking like this.

Large potholes at the roundabout at the junction of Tring Road and Overdown Road Tilehurst Reading, 3rd April
The raised up mini roundabout at the junction of Tring road on Overdown road Tilehurst has large potholes around it which vehicle's tyres are kicking up stone's which can damage car's windscreens and cause an accident. In November 2023 this West Berkshire council had the raised up circle and the surrounding lines leading up to the junction painted white. This involved the area being closed off for several hrs and involving several highway maintenance vehicles and approximately 12 workers. This West Berkshire council is waisting council tax payers money in allowing work to be carried out on painting the junctions but not repairing the potholes prior to painting. The workers painted over the potholes without filling them in

Roadworks Poor Planning, 27th March
Whoever at the council had the bright idea to allow Bath Road works same time as Burghfield Rd closure same time needs review. Such poor planning is causing chaos in the area, people are having difficulties just getting to medical appointments due to the heavy traffic issues. The poor planning & setup of the works and temporary lights is causing huge traffic blockages backing up on local residential roads. What about the additional pollution being caused due to all this?
