Highway maintenance truck being left outside homes
11th August
The problem is happening in duchy drive Paignton, its a quiet residential area all homes detached with garages and drives which accommodates upto 2 to 3 vehicles there's slso ample of off street parking. The driver of this vehicle lives with his grandad on duchy Drive and used to park outside his home until about 3months ago started parking much further up the road for what ever reason I'm unsure, he's been parking on duchy avenue on the road side which is not a problem but if he cant park there he leaves it outside the homes of others. Im fully aware of the highway code and whats legal and illegal, nobody has any issues with people parking outside there homes and i really could not care less, unfortunately i most certainly do have an issue with WHAT is being parked and left outside our homes and when the reason for it being left there is that they don't, want it outside there own property it does become an issue, this is not somebody leaving a car or van outside your home this is a large highway maintenance truck stacked with traffic lights, traffic cones ,work signs and because of the nature of his job he works a lot of nights and therefore if your the unfortunate one to find this outside your home in the morning it will be there all day until he leaves in the evening. I am aware there has been a complaint made to CORE at the paignton office and although they are simperthetic towards the situation there's nothing they can do as he's parked legally. Last Friday the 8th of August this vehicle was left outside 78 duchy drive and stayed all day until he left for work at 5.30pm, the owner of that property therefore put his car outside to prevent him coming back, at around 11.45pm the truck arrived back and parked up on the footpath (photos shown) and did leave room for pedestrians to pass. This young man did not only parked up on a pedestrian footpath outside & opposite people's homes but did so knowing that he was going away would not be coming back until after the weekend ,its 11.45am 11th August and that truck is still there mounted up on the footpath and therefore i believe that CORE should be issued with a fixed penalty notice for obstruction and abandonment. If the driver of this vehicle doesn't want it near his own home and can not find suitable parking then can i suggest that he leaves back it at the depot

Footpath closed due to failure of retaining wall
25th July
This is quite a difficult junction to pull out of due to parked vehicles and restricted visibility exacerbated by the closure of the footpath due to the failure of a homes retaining wall.
This has been like this for years now and think it is high time the council pressured the home owner to resolve.

18th July
At the junction of Southfield Avenue and Dolphin Crescent, the white lines on the road, indicating that drivers in Dolphin crescent have the priority have the right of way, have been rubbed out and are no longer visible. This leads to drivers in Southgate exiting the road at full speed, the lines need repainting urgently before there is a serious accident please.

Left hand traffic lane being blocked off due to people parking up to go to sandwich shop
7th July
18 months ago Nads Baps opened up and has caused traffic problems, its by traffic lights at crossroads on double yellows but every day from 8.00 till 2.00 the left hand lane is put out of action due to traffic pulling up going to the sandwich shop or fisherman shop, and although there vehicles are only slightly on the road its enough to put the lane out of action. On the opposite side there are railings, and across the crossroads there are bollards to prevent this from happening, traffic is not only backing up on upper manor road but also old torquay rd and people are missing the lights, people are not just popping in for a sandwich and going they are sitting down at the outside tables and can be there for up to 15 to 20 mins and when they go the next one pulls up and that go's on until it shuts something has to be done.

Worn out lane markings
20th May
The road markings have virtually completely worn away. The road markings are very crucial at this junction separating opposing traffic wishing to turn right from each direction Paignton/Torquay. Anyone not familiar with the junction layout could cause issues.

Mobile home parked in dangerous position for the past 3+ weeks.
3rd April
When driving from Preston Down Road along Duchy Drive past Templar Road a parked mobile home obstructs the view around the corner. Drivers have to pull on to the off side of the road further reducing the view around the corner. There is in my opinion a great danger of a head on collision on this bend.
