Despite past complaints little done
1st June
Local Councillor involved and having checked with officers, said unlikely the road will be resurfaced until 2027. By that time of course we may be part of a much bigger authority so go down the bottom of the list again. They have been repairing many potholes in this road for the past 11 years to my knowledge. It would have been cheaper to do a proper job on it. It is a short stretch of road but a disgrace.

Caravan abandoned
16th May
This Caravan has been left here for over a week. Parked in a turning circle making it impossible for residents, emergency services and food delivery vans. The window has now been smashed open and the door was left open. Someone has also tampered with the wheel and handbrake. Massive arson risk due to the area it has been left in. Worryingly close to my house.

On the entrance to Torre Abbey from Chestnut Road a disgusting mess along side a tent. There is human poo in the undergrowth and drug paraphernalia scattered around. Tourists and locals walk through here and it now looks like a really bad area.

Abandoned pick up truck
11th May
There is a blue pick up truck at the top of the carpark for Haslam Court that appears on o have been abandoned. It has been there for over a week and nobody knows whos it is from either the flats or the houses. Its causing problems for people trying to park in their allocated spaces and has caused some near misses with people having to manoeuvre around it. A note has been left on the window but its not been moved for days as nobody has been back to move it.

Shop workers
job centre staff
Warren road desperately needs resident parking permits!! This would raise a lot money for council as shoppers, shop staff, job centre staff are making it impossible for those that live in the road to be able to park, and they should be using Melville and other car parks!! Then should I ask for the 104 plus money back and get the council to teach able bodied car drivers to learn respect and manners?? Maybe I should be able to borrow Steve Darlings guide dog whenever I choose, and then be able to find out how he would suffer, as I am at the moment. I deeply regret voting Lib Dem, they are all out for themselves and not helping his constituents!! I have offered to pay for a fixed plate, parking permit, residents permit, reserved sign, yellow lines etc anything to be able to leave house and return back to bay I have paid for without ignorant and greedy problems Warren road desperately needs resident parking permits as we get many town workers getting free parking Instead of using car park at Melville. Also staff at job centre at bottom of Warren road, This is obvious to someone with half a brain that it is losing the council Megabucks which, if residents parking permits we're introduced it would likely reduce council tax or at least provide more money for other council projects!!!

Abuse of disabled parking bays
28th April
Paid for disabled parking bay but each time I have to go out other cars are parked there when I return. This problem is almost making me housebound as I have to be able to get back home to use nebulisers etc. My COPD consultant is very concerned as I keep getting chest infections due to not being able to get home and take meds. Steve Darling knows all about the problems I have, but still nothing has been done. This has been going on since August 2024 when I got car to help me get out and try and enjoy the remaining of my life.

Cars double parking
18th April
Owners using the road in front of their drives. often multiple cars. This can make it unsafe for people coming up Burridge Ave to exit onto Burridge road. It also prevents at times the bin men from getting down the road leading to missed collections. I believe 2023 was the year a bin lorry crashed into a car trying to enter Burridge Ave. its

Town main street with a long line of commercial bins
3rd April
Complaint: The main street in Torquay has a long line of vile, imposing, unsightly, exposed filthy, commercial bins. This is not the place for bins, in view of all our tourists and visitors and for us locals.
Please find another, out of the way, location for these ugly bins.
Remove them. Cover them, but for the love of God, get them off the high street
