Ash trees, 26th April
I have been told by neighbours that some of the trees on Piquets Way ( near The Drive side of Piquets way) have trees that ate dangerous and could cause issues to the properties. I believe they may be Ash trees although not certain. I was told that the council are going to cut them due to safety issues. But there are also trees on the drive which don't appear too health and thus also at risk of damage to people or houses and so would also like these to be looked at. Thank you in advance

Road surface deteriorating prior to speed cushion, 1st April
The speed cushion outside 26 Burgh Heath Road, Epsom has been previously repaired, however the road surface uphill of this, on the downhill lane has started to significantly deteriorate. This has caused a depression pot hole, which will cause a jolt and steering issues, in one of the two natural paths that a cyclist will take to avoid the speed cushion, the between the two speed cushions, but which will bring them closer to oncoming traffic. It can also be seen in the photograph how poor the road sweeping has been along with a lack of verge maintenance allowing the build up of detritus over the kerb and into the gutter, obscuring the white lines marking the carriageway.

Infill has eroded around road metal causing pothole on bend, 1st April
A previous repair has deteriorated meaning that tarmac has eroded from all around an item of road metal (possibly a stop cock cover). As this is on a downhill bend and inline with the inside vehicle track it is int eh natural position for a cyclist to encounter it, potentially causing a crash and injury.

Grass verges just mud, 23rd March
Could you kindly look at the so called " grass verges " especially on Piquets Way, but also on the adjacent road ie The Drive. These have become just mud patches for nearly a yest if not longer. Worse on Piquets Way on the left side going towards The Drive. They are highly unsightly but more than that slippy and muddy. Could you kindly replace grass where it once was so that they are again grass verges not muddy land.

High speed drivers near school, 17th March
I would like the council to place a 20 mph area on both Piquets Way and The Drive. These 2 residential roads are where The Beacon School is and School children walk around here all the time . Yet so many dangerous drivers speeding in both these busy roads which are made narrower due to so many parked cars. Reducing the speed to 20 will reduce the risk of an accident or death. Ideally such a huge high school should never be in the middle of a residential area and ideally be relocated. This would then make more land for residential houses which will are much needed. But at least taking the speed on both The Drive and Piquets Way to 20mph would reduce the risk of a death of a child

Advertising boards erected on highway verge, 12th March
Large advertising boards for some sort of development have been erected on the verge on either side of Holly Hill Drive adjacent Holly Lane. Surely they should not be erected on highway verge and fall foul of the regulations for estate agents boards?

Red VW Polo NG59HCF parked completely over pavement causing obstruction, 10th March
This car has recently parked up behind another car that's already parked entirely obstructing the pavement. One thoughtless act follows another.
You can see the report for the original vehicle that "set the trend" here: https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/5691626
Conventional, legal parking is widely available a short walk away but this driver appears to think their needs are greater than pedestrians or the disabled who wish to use the pavement here, unfortunately there is no drop-down kerb for pushchairs or wheelchairs, so these need to return to Treadwell Road to cross at the junction where there are drop down curbs, then continue their journey on the opposite pavement.

Dangerous debris in road, 10th March
Piece of metal in the road that if driven over will cause damage to vehicles.

Selfish driver of LD60LWO parked overnight on pavement causing obstruction, 10th March
On the evening of 9th March 2024, the driver of this Citroen C1 registration LD60LWO has caused an obstruction to both vehicles and pedestrians by selfishly parking completely over the pavement at the top of Hillcrest Close near the junction with Treadwell Road. The car was left parked there overnight. Conventional, legal parking is widely available a short walk away but this driver appears to think their needs are greater than pedestrians or the disabled who wish to use the pavement here, unfortunately there is no drop-down kerb for pushchairs or wheelchairs, so these need to return to Treadwell Road to cross at the junction where there are drop down curbs, then continue their journey on the opposite pavement. Unfortunately there are no patrols in this area to ticket this clear obstruction of the pavement. The same car was previously reported in August 2023 for the same infraction, see: https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/4872580

Beige BMW car FP60BFL parked on double yellow lines, 6th March
Illegal parking on 5th March 2024 at 10am. These double yellow lines provide a refuge for vehicles turning into Hillcrest Close without remaining on Treadwell Road (which often has drivers driving at high speed along it), whilst allowing clearance for oncoming vehicles exiting from Hillcrest Close at the same time. Selfish parking like this causes an obstruction and restricts the visibility and amenity of vulnerable road users. It's also clearly no parking here, because of the road markings.
