FIXMYSTREET IN SN14 6RS
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of SN14 6RS:
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.

Pedestrian crossing point, 26th June
The pedestrian crossing point on the junction of Malmesbury Road and the A350, is not fit for purpose. Traffic lights stop the traffic, who then block the pedestrian crossing point, as it is not marked otherwise. There is also a bus stop at the same point. Crossing with a pushchair, wheelchair, with young children or those physically impaired is dangerous.

Drain cover subsided on road, 7th September
I would like to report a drain cover that is subsiding. It is on the public road, as you enter our driveway, therefore has a lot of footfall. There is a lot of movement and there is no way to go around it to enter my drive way.

Report on FixMyStreet
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.
