Obstruction to double pram, 27th April
Please may this be forwarded to the relevant person,
My name is Bekki Aubrey, a mother of two whom lives in willow close, Odd Down.
I am writing in relation to the gap that connects Fosse Gardens, Sulis Meadows to Ridge Green Close, I have attached a photo, its the lower part of the footpath at the end of the steps.
I recently had my second baby and therefore, had to purchase a double pram due to my children both being under two. I frequently attend playgroups, shop at Sainsbury's and get the bus to local locations, which requires me to walk my pram through the gap mentioned above, this has been my way of walking since I moved to this area three years ago. As the longer route (pram accessible) is to walk along the whole of Sulis Manor Rd, along the main road A367 and down Mendip Gardens, I certainly don’t mind walking, but this is a significantly longer route with a toddler and a newborn.
Unfortunately, due to the size of the gap, I have had to use this longer route as my double pram does not fit through the gap. I believe this gap should allow access for double prams?
I am aware, that this may potentially be to stop bikes etc, but as a owner of a house in Willow Close, I am fully aware that this isn’t working, as we have recently had frequent visits from police in the area due to the motorbikes that regularly drive (a selection of them, very fast and irresponsibly) in the grass area behind our house.
I thought I would at least contact yourselves to see if there is any potential that something could be done to allow myself and others with double prams access through this gap, as it only falls short by the length of a wheel.
Yours sincerely, Bekki Aubrey

Report on FixMyStreet
Abandoned e bike left by lamppost, far end of the first terrace at the beginning of Prior Park Road, 26th April
This bike has been left by a lamppost (which already has a traffic sign stuffed behind it) on the narrowest part of an already narrow pavement where people step out directly from their doors and where it's hard for people to pass each other at the best of times. This impedes anyone with a dog, a buggy or a mobility scooter - and they can't step into the road, it's too busy as it's near the crossroads. Please could you tell the company to collect it or get them to put designated areas & ensure users leave them there (there are much wider pavements not that far away)? Many thanks. PS this happened before with the e-scooters
