FIXMYSTREET IN RG31 5TQ
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of RG31 5TQ:
Dangerous and inconsiderate parking, 30th April
The residents at no 59 have three personal vehicles parked outside 59, 57 Gratwicke rd and a van on the corner of Blundell's Rd. They have tradespeople present today (and the last few days) who have parked immediately on the bend of Gratwicke and Blundells and outside 59 (house employing trades) and across no 57 Gratwicke's driveway, completely blocking the driveway. This bend requires caution when no one is parked there, with all of these vehicles it is now very dangerous. I live at 56 Gratwicke and have now experienced several near misses accessing my own driveway. I understand double yellow lines are in the process of being implemented but we are still potentially some months away, any assistance would be appreciated.

Shoddy grass cutting, 20th April
My expectations of the grass cutting on the verges last week should be it looks recently cut.... This time was there any point? It was cut on the highest setting which has literally taken of a cm? It's terrible that the grass is being cut and the contractor is literally just skimming, surely it's worth cutting right back short as it will be a few months until it's cut again?

Car blocking pavement, 4th April
This has been here at least since this morning and is still there now in the evening. It is completely blocking the pavement on that side so blind / hard of sight people and pushchairs have to go into the road to avoid it. There is room for cars to get past without them parking like this.
