Graffiti on green street cabinets, 16th December
Thee graffiti on the right hand side cabinet has been there years and both Virgin Media and Openreach claim they do not own it. It is unacceptable that it has been there this long with no one doing anything about it as it is incredibly unsightly and negatively affects the area. Could you please paint the cabinet or find and contact the owner to address immediately?
Thank you

Parking blocking view of exit from my driveway but also directly opposite a junction, 17th September
This van parks on the pavement opposite a junction obstructing my view to get off my driveway safely. A number of times I've pulled off my drive to go out and a car has been coming the other way from the junction. Neither of us can see each other until there's nearly a collision I have spoken to the driver of the vehicle and he has said he doesn't want to park such a big vehicle on his driveway. He has room for two vehicles. I've emailed his company asking them to encourage he parks better but I go abuse from him telling me it is taxed and insured he can park it where he wants and to stop emailing the company. He has also been abusive when I've asked him to park more considerately. He has parked so close to the hedge each time that pedestrians cannot walk by his van. He has also parked the other side of my hedge blocking view from that side.

Polluted carp lake, 5th July
When walking by the small pond near Putlands Leisure Centre today I noticed the water is looking extremely murky and dark, and may well be polluted. Someone has thrown what looks like a child’s car in the main part, which is usually teaming with goldfish/carp. The area is also very overgrown with brambles along the footpath, and the fishing swims look dangerous. I’d appreciate it if someone could please give this urgent attention as it is frequented by local residents and is a sanctuary for all kinds of wildlife and birds, including herons.
