Lane marking all wrong.
28th March
Coming off the motorway from the north. 2 lanes marked for Kingsbury at junction is completely wrong as 2 lanes go into one. Coming from Tamworth to go to Kingsbury is an absolute nightmare as vehicles cutting you up as lanes are not marked correctly. Whoever put this in place need to look at the problems so they can be retrained. Wake up. !!

Bad case of flytipping
16th March
In the Grange, at the Needlers End Lane end, there is a wastebin next to the footpath. Someone has dumped several items next to the bin including bags of rubbish, a tyre and a large item the might almost be garden furniture. All too big to fit into the boot of a car but would fit into a van OK. It's not your fault, but please don't leave it there! It's an absolute eyesore. If you would like photos please just email me with an email address to send them to.

Total footpath blocked.
15th March
There is only one narrow footpath coming out of lavender hall park that can be used. Virtually every weekend there are football matches taking place. The cars park on this path, leaving no safe access to the park. Especially for parents with buggy or wheelchair users. As seen in the photos there are 10 to 12 cars if not more blocking this road and path. Even the bus would struggle to get passed aswell as emergency vehicles. Double yellow lines on this side of the road upto the kenilworth rd, would create a safe access in and out of the park, if monitored.
