Glare from led conversion of lanterns, 20th February

Mon, 20 Feb 2023 18:59:24 +0000
53.627536 -1.298239

Conversion to LED has been very good and works well with low dazzle. Old style lanterns on Main st are obviously a problem and led conversion results in poor performance and glare. Would be better to convert lighting heads to standard.

Sat Navs taking drivers to a blocked/closed road, 18th July

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 14:54:57 +0100
53.619282 -1.346795

Yesterday I re-directed 8 drivers trying to get to Hemsworth Water Park. This is a regular occurence on my daily walk. They are being directed to the park through the farms but this route is closed with a barrier on the farm side of the railway bridge (see pic from Google Maps). Not sure who to report it to. Highways Agency re-directed here.If its not possible to update SatNavs via a central point could the council consider putting a sign up at the Station Road end of the Farm access road. It would save drivers on fuel etc and be better for the environment. Best wishes. paulcdunn@sky.com

Broken glass, 6th April

Tue, 06 Apr 2021 12:26:52 +0100
53.621824 -1.353681

There seems to be a lot of broken glass from beer bottles around the old golf course and towards Vale Head Park and Hemsworth Waterpark. We walk our dog and 6 year old around this area and are concerned it is getting worse and no one seems to be clearing it. I u sweat and it will be teenagers and they currently have no where to go but glass is dangerous for children and dogs. I notice the bins are tended too, does no one clear the other areas to keep them nice and safe for everyone?

Dog fouling and litter, 18th December

Fri, 18 Dec 2020 15:50:36 +0000
53.613219 -1.346819

As you can see this is my sons short school run from our house to school. We encountered 15 and this is quite normal! It is disgusting and should be dealt with. Not to mention the litter! It is not a good example for the children walking to school. I believe wakefield council are responsible for public walkways and therefore would like to understand how it has got so bad that parents are being ignored when reported the issues and our children have to dodge dog poo all the time. Sometimes accidentally standing in it and then leaving the parents to clean up another dog owners poo! We should be making our children’s walk to abs from school a pleasant one and setting a good example. So when they ask what our council tax is spent on we can confidently say, look how clean the walkways are etc etc. I feel ashamed of my council for allowing it to get this and not respond to the parents pleas to have it dealt with.
