Blocked drain causing flooding on pavement and private driveway, 27th April
This is an ongoing issue that does not get fixed. The problem is getting worse as the drain is not maintained as well as failing at dealing with surface water. It now floods onto our property which is not acceptable.

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

Tap not working, 22nd April
I reported the tap at bottom of Plot 22a Canal Gardens, Widcombe was leaking, it was turned off. Spring is upon us and it is an important water source for the surrounding plots and has NOT been fixed, please could someone arrange for this work to be done. We do pay a water rate for the allotments, so it would be nice to receive the service we pay for.

Pot holes outside garden centre, 22nd April
There are many bad pot holes in front of the Prior Park Garden Centre which are dangerous to cyclists & likely to damage car wheels. I drove into a particularly deep one near the back entrance to the garden centre & it sounded so bad that I stopped to check my wheel was ok. There are several other bad pot holes further down the road which are in the centre of the road & are difficult to avoid as cars are parked on the left hand side as you drive towards town. I hope this information will bring about an early repair of this area.

BA2 4DB - The Holburne Museum, Bath. Overflowing cigarette tower bin, 22nd April
In the grounds of the Holburne Museum, to the right of the building as you face the main entrance, is a litter bin, and beside it a tower bin for cigarette ends. This latter is overflowing, and the reception person suggested that this might be a matter for the Council. As that cigarette bin is still overflowing a couple of weeks later, I thought I would try Fix My Street. If this is a matter for the Council, please would you attend the cigarette bin and empty it. Many thanks.

One way system imposed temporarily seems to be dragging on for months, 22nd April
As a resident of Rosemount Lane it is a very inconvenient to have it one way with no consultation. I sympathise with the reasons for it and it is is understandable to reduce the traffic on Lyncombe Hill created by a collapsing wall. However, I see no improvements being made and it feels like this is going to continue for a while with no feedback as to when it is going back to two way. Bear in mind that forefield rise is also one way temporarily. I think we are on 3 months of a temporary one way system. Surely this is too long.
I suggest it is made one way but with two way access for residents of the lane until the work on the wall on Lyncombe hill is completed?
