Abbotsford roundabout is a desert, 21st July
Hi abbotsford roundabout is devoid of nature- there need to be trees and wildflower in the traffic island or at least wildflowers- there is no visibility issue- save for a bit on the far right if heading towards Galashiels..

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.

Overgrown trees covering streetlights, 23rd September
This section of road is unlit and dangerous for pedestrians due to trees being excessively overgrown around the streetlights. It is a walking route for students between town and the college, so good lighting and safety should be a priority.

Temporary traffic lights stuck on red, 18th March
I'm not sure who's responsible for these lights, hence my choice to report on FixMyStreet.
Every morning so far this week, these lights have been stuck on red. There's no indication from the motion sensor that it has detected a vehicle approaching (when approaching from the Selkirk side)

Aged sign, 5th February
The school warning sign attached high up on a lamppost is very difficult to see. It seems to be very high and camouflages into the trees around it. The sign is also very dirty and green growth/moss like making it more difficult to see.

Constant reversing by articulated lorries/cars/vans etc etc, 18th March
I am constantly being woken up in the middle of the night or early (6am) hours of the morning with trucks/vans/cars CONSTANTLY using the car park entrance to turn around ! The signage at the start of glenfield road west is - NON EXISTENT - telling large vehicles there is NO THROUGH ROAD !!! This has been happening for months upon months - HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO "" REPLACE "" SIGNS THAT ARE NOT THERE ??? As a result of all the traffic turning ( with great difficulty - part of fence and sign at old folks home has been damaged by a lorry and the grass outside my block of flats has "GOUGES" out the grass from LARGE HGV WHEELS ) this is not only UNACCEPTABLE ( from a safety point of view - all large vehicles " REQUIRE " a banksman to reverse them in small or tight spaces - this can and will result in someone having a nasty accident as this is a busy through way for pedestrians and with kids going to school !!! For the sake of some proper signage that is not there - PLEASE MAKE IT CLEAR _ "" NO THROUGH ROAD FOR HGV's "" with the road being closed at the moment for sewerage repairs/replacement the situation is compounded by the amount of people who think they can still get through - EVEN THOUGH SIGNS ARE THERE SAYING " ROAD CLOSED " - I counted at least 64 cars on Saturday that had to u-turn and go back - CLEAR SIGNS ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED - AS RESIDENTS ARE BEING DISTURBED ALL DAY AND ALL DAMN NIGHT !!!

Re-opening of pathway, 5th December
When is the re-instated pathway between the car park on Glenfield Road West and the footbridge over Gala water at Dale street to be finished with the top layer of tar and re-opened to the public for access ? This pathway has been closed since 18/8/2014 and has caused a lot of disruption for people trying to reach Dale st, the college, the university, the industrial est (Netherdale) and as a lovely riverside walk for young families and elderly folk wishing to enjoy a local walk away from traffic. The pathway has been widened ant built, also new lamp standards installed - it only awaits the top coat of tar to finish but it seems work has ground to a halt as for the past 2 months nothing further has been done - no lamp fixings to lamp standards, no top coat of tar to finish the pathway ! Can we have this popular (previously) pathway and walkway finished and opened as soon as possible please as for 4 months it has been closed - surely time enough to reinstate the pathway ?

Deteriorating road surfaces - resurfacing needed, 5th December
The roadway betwen the new railbridge at Glenfield Road West and the junction with Glenfield Road East is in a shocking state of dis-repair and in many places crumbling, there have been at least 3 previous visits to fill in the numerous holes and uneven drain/access covers but ALL have failed - due to the fact that tar has been dumped into the hole, smoothed over and left. This has resulted in the temporary repairs failing miserably as the underlying problem has NOT been rectified by repairing properly the faults in the road surfaces. A temporary repair by filling the hole with tar does not last long as with the flow of traffic over it dislodges it and the problem returns just as bad if not worse ! When are we to get the potholes and uneven drain/access covers fixed to a standard that means it can be classed as a road and not an off road experience ?

On the northbound side of the A7, tarmac has broken up adjacent to a manhole cover. This has left a large pothole which is being hidden by standing water. The pothole is located as you enter the corners at Boleside (just south of Galashiels) from the Selkirk side.

Drop kerbs, 6th March
Wonder if you have been able to do any more about the email i sent as regards the drop kerbs at the bottom of cochrane place and the a7 main rd. i wrote in jan 2009 and you were going to look into the matter,also recently i was talking to a wheelchair user who is unable to get up onto the pavement at this junction because there are no drop kerbs and has to travel along the side of the busy a7 which i,m sure would be very dangerous for him
