Land drainage issuen, 18th March

Mon, 18 Mar 2024 08:50:00 +0000
53.675799 -1.314573

This problem has been ongoing for several years. It’s located between the estate greens between numbers 24 & 25 wild orchid way and is where the main footpath from green to green cross the road. It appears to be land drainage as water seeps out from inbetween the curb edgings, however, Yorkshire water are out to investigate. Their employee suggests it doesn’t look to be a leak, but said they will investigate to rule out. It currently is extremely bad as there appears to be an investation of maggots all across the road encroaching onto both greens. It is also particularly bad in the winter as the entire span of the road freezes up. Could this please be investigated and dealt with? Thankyou

Restrictions on access twice a day, 29th September

Fri, 29 Sep 2023 10:35:09 +0100
53.676076 -1.26819

Residents being stopped and asked to account for why they are driving in and out of the street by teachers is not acceptable. What power do they have to obstruct cars and block the road? There is no need for these restrictions as visitors are courteous in terms of parking and as far as we are aware there have been no injuries due to speed. This is yet a further curb on motorists and people’s ability to move freely. I understand there were huge objections to these restrictions so fail to understand why it’s being enforced.

Hello the road on chequerfield circle wf8 2an is in need of repair on the roundabout the center has been like this for as long as I can remember. Last year the road on west drive was repaired wf8 2an. I pay for the privalidge of driving and I expect the roads I use to be in a reasonable condition, I remember roads were always repaired when car tax was used to fund repairs for our roads. Please do repairs it is dangerous ¾ way round the roundabout and is a BUS rout. Kind Regards John Powell.

On entering Sotheron Croft outside No 1 is a large oil or diesel deposit coming from a white kia which parks there, even though the owner has a drive which is house No 2 they fail to use it. The owner also on many times just dropped their fast food litter on the street when exiting the car and has no respect to the environment at all, When we are dog walk we have to avoid two areas on the street the other is outside No 5 which parked their van on the pathway and has totally ruined a grass verge due to parking there again oil on pathway and street. its totally unacceptable and action should be taken to clean the area up and made to pay for the cost. Also dogs don't wear boots or shoes and they clean their paws think of the health.
