FIXMYSTREET IN DT1 3DL
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of DT1 3DL:
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.

Report on FixMyStreet
On the Bridport Road, close to the Mc.Donald’s restaurant, people very often Park their cars on the road while a corner is nearby. Therefore the passage but also the visibility of cars driving towards Martinstown is often hindered. Double yellow stripes until the corner in order to prevent parking could avoid this very dangerous situation experienced by many inhabitants of Martinstown., 17th September
See above.

Loud noise made by manhole cover by every wheel, 5th August
As each car passes over the manhole cover in the busy The Grove road, a loud metallic double-knock is heard. It's on the southbound side of The Grove by the junction with Northernhay. I think the manhole is square and made of two triangles.

Trees overhanging boundaries of private business, 12th July
I'm the Business Manager of the Dorchester branch of McDonalds (Lewco Holdings LTD). As you can see from the photos, the trees located in the land to the east of our property overhang across the boundary.
The concern I have regards the high potential of falling branches causing damage to the vehicles of both staff and customers. The relative isolation of the store means that it is usually quite windy in the area which increase the risk of falling branches.
The carpark does have CCTV which will be able to identify any potential damage caused, but ideally I'd like to prevent its occurrence in the first place. I'm requesting that the owners of this land undertake works to cut back the vegetation overgrowth.
I logged this on FixMyStreet earlier, however it directed it to the Dorset Council. They have told me this land is managed by National Highways

Vehicles parked blocking access, 30th May
Like a lot roads leading into Poundbury wooden posts have been put into roads to stop cars and motorbikes from driven through these areas at high speeds. In this case the posts stop cars and some motor bikes but should allow mobility vehicles, prams and push bike easy access through. These two vehicles are parked here whenever I come this way and I have been doing this for circa 18 months. Due to their size and close proximity to the wooden posts it it either difficult to get through or sometimes impossible. I have seen one lady on a mobility scooter almost in tears as she was afraid she would scratch one of the cars. The area near these posts should be clear either side. You could move the posts all together, or paint a keep clear sign on the road on either side and enforce it.
