Sinking manhole cover, 7th January
This sinking manhole cover has been here for several months and is getting worse as time goes on. Cyclists are having to swerve to avoid it which is very dangerous with other traffic nearby. The cover is easy to see - it is in the surface of the C77 immediately outside the entrance to McQueens Gardens.

Abandoned vehicle, 2nd April
There is an abandoned black land rover that has been parked in the same place for about 2 months now, It has no road tax (Its marked as SORN but is parked in a public parking space) and its MOT expired in 2019. I reported it to the DVLA over a week ago but they have not done anything about it, they may have struggled to find it. It is parked behind some flats next to church street road just down a small slope, if you see some vehicles parked below some flats then it is down there and to the left.
