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.

Pothole appearing by road constriction, 3rd April
This pothole appears every year in the same place. Perhaps you can manage a permanent fix for once. It's not large yet, but it will be. It's in that great space by the road constriction that means it catches most cars.

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

Crumbled Grass Verge, 26th March
There is a grassverge which has crumbled curb/footpath inwards into it and become a bit marshy. The Path is also too steep downwards and then immediately flat. Both of these issues are causing cars when driving out of our driveway to get stuck in the grass verge bit after scratching the front and back of the car where they are scraping against the floor getting out of the driveway.

Cars parked on yellow zig zags during prohibited time, 25th March
Cars parked at 15:30-15:40 on yellow school zig zags during school pickup. Parking here presents a danger to children leaving school as they are less visible and hinders access for emergency services. Signs mean this issue is legally enforceable.

It's hard to avoid the pot holes on this roundabout, 23rd March
I appreciate it is the end of a major bus route and a busy road, but the pot holes on this round about are unavoidable for cars that use it on a daily basis.

Phasing of the lights, 21st March
Just before Christmas the phasing of the lights at this junction was changed. Every morning it takes me at least 4/5 light changes to get from St Michael’s Road along to these lights. This is causing big queues back to Mayfair. Quite often there are no cars coming up Church End Lane and we are just sat there. I have travelled this way to work for 12 years and it was never like this before. This is a main route into town in the morning but just this piece of road can take me 5 mins to get through. Please can you look into this so that the traffic can run freely in the mornings Thanks

Massive pothole on bus/stop drop kerb area, 5th March
There are lots of problems here and I've been getting increasingly concerned about public safety. This pothole by the bus stop is getting bigger and bigger, the google streetview picture attached even has it visible in 2019. It's much larger now and is causing a hazard for pedestrians crossing with buggies/wheelchairs at this dropped kerb. I've seen a child almost pitched out of a buggy into the road because of it.
This is not the only problem. It is a very well-used road crossing point for children and parents at school run time from the alley that runs parallel to Kernham Drive to the alley into Condor Close, and would probably benefit from a zebra crossing here. Also, because lots of parents from Brookfields park on the south side of this stretch of road, from Sage Road up to the bus stop, it is extremely difficult to see traffic coming when you are on the path and about to cross the road. I have also witnessed an old lady from the retirement properties on Condor Close almost getting run over here because she stepped out from behind a parked car to cross and didn't see the car coming at her (from the Oxford road direction) on the wrong side of the road. These parked cars are also parking opposite the junction with Kernham Drive which I'm sure is illegal. Please please can you do something to make this area safer before there is a serious accident? Thank you!
