FIXMYSTREET IN ST13 7AD
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of ST13 7AD:
Paths on Park Road Leek, 19th June
Can you please explain why everytime you leave the paths looking like this on Park Road in Leek after you've cut the grass banks? This may be just a box ticking excercise to the Council, but we live here and we end up trampling this into our homes. It's bad enough that you leave sections of the grass bank uncut, but the areas you do cut you just leave lying around. Have some pride in your work and please stop doing this, I'm fed up of grass cuttings blowing into my front garden and being trampled through the house on our feet.
No doubt you'll come back with some laim response that you're not responsible for the grass cuttings once cut, we'll I suggest you should be, it's not nice to look at and is causing a nuisance! What do we pay our Council taxes for??

Manhole with area around it recessed a fair way., 24th January
The manhole has an area around it that is much lower than the manhole - the manhole cover itself is the right height but the depth of the area around it is making it very hard to navigate the roundabout when I am driving to work.

Illegal Parking, 11th October
Every Sunday between the hours of 10am and 12.30 pm when there is a fixture on at the Rugby club there are numerous ( over 30) cars parked illegally on pavements, many within 10m of a junction throughout the estate. The Rugby Club simply does not have adequate parking for its membership. Double parked cars everywhere making it impossible for emergency services to access the residents. Inconsiderate parking is making living on this beautiful estate a nightmare.

Parking at the top of a cul-de-sac, pavements blocked, 4th September
Eversley Avenue is a small cul-de-sac and it is proving to be a poor street to live on I have a drive which accommodates at least 2 vehicles and some days I can't get on or off it, occupants who have no driveways park there cars on the pavements causing problems for any cars/vans to turn round etc... It is very sad that when we have visitors with pushchairs they have to walk in the road as the pavement on most occasions are barely visible, daytime is not too bad however evening is appalling, whichever is a nightmare when we have children with various commitments.

Report on FixMyStreet
Pavement obstruction, 4th September
The weeds, tree and shrubs on the (only) pavement on Cheadle Road in Cheddleton, coming out from East Drive towards Leekbrook, are seriously obstructing the pavement. There are thorny branches encroaching onto half of the pavement and it is the only pavement along that stretch of road. My children and I walk along it to go to nursery and it is dangerous as the cars come extremely fast along the road at that point and we are nearly on the road to avoid the obstructions.
