Reg. No. SC57 CLN this white citroen van is often seen parked in the eastern side car parking area in Bentley Close. DVLA details have been checked. It is parked on RBC land.

The very harsh/drastic cutting of a RBC hedge., 6th March
** Asked to report this on behalf of at least several residents in Bentley Close. The very harsh/drastic cutting of a RBC hedge. 1. PROBABLY CANNOT BE 'FIXED' UNTIL AFTER ABOUT 5 YEARS GROWTH, or perhaps much longer. 2. A complaint has been recently made directly to RBC's Councillor Brandon Clayton - who holds the Portfolio for the Environment. 3. Councillor Clayton was not aware of the 'NHS' [The National Hedgelaying Society]. https://www.hedgelaying.org.uk/pg/contractors/main.aspx A local expert could have been asked to improve this hedge which is adjacent to an RBC Allotment Site. 4. One resident said that RBC should not 'butcher' (drastically cut) other hedges in the Borough. 5. At one time, this particular hedge was trimmed regularly and neatly - and sometimes given a nice tapered top - to the height of the adjacent allotment fence.

This New Wall is seriously limiting visability at this junction!, 13th January
Location: the corner house at the junction of Vicarage Cres. and Bromsgrove Rd. The problem: The resident/owner is building a very tall wall at the front of the house. Surely there should be a VISIBILITY SPLAY - and the wall must not be over a height of about 2.5 metres. RBC's Planning Dept. need to investigate this matter, and take enforcement measures. This is not the only place in Redditch where a front garden wall, fence, or hedge is far too high. ROAD SAFETY - visibility at junctions is important.
Report on FixMyStreet
Parking near junction, 4th January
Usually 5 or 6 vehicles, including a motorhome, parked too close to roundabout and restricting access to Appletree Lane. Vehicles have private plates with common initials, suggesting they all belong to same person.

Dangerous Tree - back garden 22 Mount St., 31st December
This property is said to belong to RBC. There was a serious fire in the back garden about 2 or 3 years ago. It killed a tree. This dead tree really looks like it is about to fall - which might block a footpath, and damage a WCC lamp post. This very untidy back garden has been reported frequently at the local PACT meeting - no action yet! WILL THIS FIX MY STREET REPORT initiate all the necessary work to be done?
