Untrimmed shrub acts used like a litter point., 25th March
People are keep trashing their rubbish. None of these garbage is collected mainly because there is a shrub untrimmed and no one takes care of it. Additionally there is no any litter Box close to that shrub. We even find dog poops in that shrub or leaving basically on our wall...thanks to that 'rubbish corner"

Illegal and dangerous parking on Shire Ridge for School Pickups, 11th March
Despite there being double yelow lines on both side of Shire Ridge where it joins with the Lichfield Road. every day (apart from wednesdays) at just before 3pm - parents are parking not only on the double yellow lines, they are also double parked on both sides of the street causing an obstruction, and also within 10Ms of the Junction.
The bend before the junction and for those turning into shire ridge is blind and there have been several near misses where cars are in the middle of the road.They also creating a hazard for those children who choose the better option and walk to and from school and do not need their parents to nearly park in the classroom to collect them, as they are trying to cross roads between these parked cars, again the number of near misses seen now is becoming unacceptable.

Dog fouling along the pedestrian pavements, 22nd February
Dog fouling is a daily and bad problem along the pedestrian pavements outside the school, small children walk this way every day to get to school, could street cleaners visit more often and signs be put up to warn of fines as it seems the owners do not care.

Black cock bridge, 18th January
Just between green lane and camden Street, Walsall wood, there is a tight high rise canal bridge , known as the black cock bridge , next door to the derelict Black cock pub. The bridge is very busy with traffic both ways . The only safe way ( not always) over the bridge is to blow your car horn ( I'm sure much to the annoyance of the locals) I'm just pleasantly enquiring if there could be any kind of traffic light system in place, which I feel would benefit drivers ( myself included) and also the locals. Many thanks in advance
