FIXMYSTREET IN SN14 6BU
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of SN14 6BU:
Street lights obscured, 6th March
The "new" street lighting seems to be on a shorter pole and definitely with a shorter reach arm. This means that however bright the light is, it is much more quickly obscured by the foliage. Obviously the council is not simply a contractor to put up equipment, but they are responsible for providing a service. In this case (and many others) the service is not provided despite fully functioning equipment. There is clearly a need for some alternative lampposts which allow for a greater spread of light. Its also a sad waste of public money to have installed inappropriate equipment in the first place. I do hope the council will take responsibility for their shortcomings and work with their partners to resolve this.

Excessive overgrown bushes obstructing public footpath and vehicular access road, 9th June
The public access road at the rear of Brunel Ct. And Rowden Hill bungalows, leading to Lady field, is badly overgrown by bushes, brambles and vegetation. This needs urgent cutting back as the access is used by cars and pedestrians, many of who are elderly and infirm. There have been several near misses where drivers are unable to see pedestrians and pedestrians are forced into the vegetation. Please liaise with the correct depth to fix this issue as left in the current state there will soon be serious injury. (this has been reported to Wilts council on numerous occasions. Photos to follow - thank you

Rocking manhole cover, 17th August
Location: Rocking manhole cover on the corner of Bristol Road and Park Terrace, outside the Garden Veterinary Group.
Description: Rectangular double size manhole containing a single fiber optic cable. This is a very large cover for a very small cable.
Problem: The cover makes a loud clanging noise every time a vehicle passes over it and it's making it impossible for local residents to sleep at night.
History: The cover was replaced approximately two months ago, and now needs to be repaired again. The installed cover does not appear to be suitable for a high traffic road like the A420.
Suggestion: Could a temporary layer of tarmac please be placed over the cover until a permanent solution can be implemented? This would allow families with small children to get some sleep at night.
