This road from the house onwards is in poor repair. It is unadopted land but was last repaired by the council which surely admits ownership. The rugby club have done what repairs they can to make it safe for their patrons given the limited funding, however the whole road needs resurfacing from the tennis courts all the way to the rugby club. The rugby club hosts a variety of the areas sports club as well as rugby including: wrestling club, gym, aspull juniors, falconry as well as the forestry school. These are all vital groups which improve the Borough and sufficient infrastructure repairs to the road are necessary to make this a safe place for these activities to continue. The road also feed the Village on the Green and some houses nearby which pay council tax, yet are not receiving the benefits in reparations of the road.

Car registration number MD69 FJZ parked illegally on double yellow lines and dangerously right on the corner of Upper Dicconson Street and Grayson's Close Wigan. I wouldn't have reported this but the rear of the car is sticking out dangerously away from the kerb and it is ridiculously parked. This is a permit zone also so it is illegally parked in several ways. I have been out visiting my parents so i don't know how long it has been parked there.

Trees blocking traffic lights, 10th June

53.549127 -2.625061

As you come down central park way from the hospital, to turn left onto greenough street, the traffic light on your left on the pavement at the junction is completely covered by trees and cannot be seen. In the last week the number of people jumping reds there seems to be ridiculous. Maybe because they can't see the lights. The trees need clipping back as this is going to cause a crash or someone is going to get run over.

53.543768 -2.616038

The above microwave has been left dumped outside a house in Chatham Street and the remains of the fireworks have been left behind the houses in Chatham Street. Only last week I removed a load of bottles from behind theses houses and from in the bushes and there are still a lot more, can you please remind me of why we pay council tax? As I'm the one removing other people's rubbish. Perhaps cctv cameras set up around these areas may deter the flytippers. The area has become a dumping ground. And more bins along the canal bank may be useful.
