FIXMYSTREET IN DT1 2NR
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of DT1 2NR:
Tactile paving ineffective, 23rd April
Tactile paving throughout Poundbury seems to have been fitted with aesthetics taking precedence over usefulness. Although I am not certain about recommended installation, the diagonal cuts and placement and lack of right angles seem to risk visually impaired people walking into the road at a dangerous angle. Although I have selected this location, this seems to be the issue throughout Poundbury, especially in these "square junctions", and this is a good example, also easily seen in Google street view and feel it is worth checking.

Road surface missing around manhole cover, 9th March
The roundabout where the north end of Charles Street meets Acland Road has a manhole cover within the roundabout area. The road surface is missing around it on at least one corner. This makes for a very hard edge.

Report on FixMyStreet
Streetlight crashed into 2 years ago - never replaced. +2 lights not working, 9th October
Two years ago this streetlight was crashed into, somehow nothing has ever been done about it (see photos, it’s quite noticeable)
I reported this early this year: reference 3041
It has been left that long that Google Maps street view has passed through twice in 2 years; showing the damage and showing it’s not been sorted… which by any sense is a ridiculous response time, particularly as someone should be inspecting the road and lights for defects.
Further to this, two other columns next to each other don’t work on the other side of the roundabout and haven’t for a few months… Numbers 20B and 21B.
Please see photos attached.
Kind regards
