Street lights not working, 18th January
The pathway from newbottle primary academy school heading towards Staddon Way, Newbottle has street lights but they are never turned on. The lights were erected a few years ago. This makes it very dark especially in the winter for children leaving school and for dog walkers. There is also a new estate beside this pathway which must make it unsafe for them too. Please turn these lights on!!

Unauthorised driveay, 22nd December
The resident has removed the fence and laid flags to extend the driveway to the whole garden and is claiming that street parking is now prohibited outside as it is now a double driveway. Parking is already a huge issue . To compound this they have reported me to my works for obstructing a none existent. driveway

Report on FixMyStreet
The new one lane traffic system held up a blue light ambulance for a few minutes a couple of days ago, 14th December
Because the two lane one way road has recently been changed to a one lane road with adjacent pathway/cycle way with large kerb, the emergency vehicle could not get past a long line of queueing traffic as there was no where for traffic to go to let the ambulance through. Those few minutes may then or in the future be crucial in a life and death scenario. I use the road every day and what used to be free flowing traffic has now changed into a gridlock situation especially at peak times. I HAVE YET TO SEE ONE USER ON THE NEW PATHWAY/CYCLEWAY SINCE IT'S INCEPTION! Not even one! I think serious consideration should be given to changing the road back to a two lane system to alleviate traffic problems and allow easier access in the case of emergency vehicle use.

Parking concerns, 19th October
I live in Dunholm Close Houghton Le Spring and there is a lack of consideration from parents dropping children off at St Michaels school. Since the path changes in the area (widening of the path for bikes) the congestion in the local area is terrible with parents now doing the following:
- Parents driving clearly above the speed limit in a residential area. They often speed up Dunholm close to use the cul de sac as a turning point and then parked at the bottom of the street to drop off children at the school. -Parents parking on dropped curbs -Parents parking on double yellow lines -Parents parking outside residents drives -Parents parking in the side streets and blocking the flow of traffic down the street to the point no cars could get past. - Parking fully on the pavement to avoid double yellow lines
As parent of young children living on the street it worries me that parents dropping off children are not respectful of the speed limit or residents of the area. This violation of safety really concerns me.
Is there a plan in place to sort out this type of issue (I’ve seen traffic patrols infrequently monitoring this area but feel more needs to be done.) I’m aware that other residents have also escalated concerns to the local authorities. I have also tried speaking to the school with no avail except for them to tell me to call the police.

Grass has been cut in the central reservation but no litter picked for over 10 months., 28th June
No litter has been picked down the central reservation along the A1 here, however as it hasn't been litter picked for nearly a year, the central reservation is now strewn with shards of litter, plastic, cones etc.
A lot of it was blowing around the highway the morning after they had done it.
Grass is cut twice a year and litter picked 4 times a year according to conversations I have had with you - however since this stretch has not been done since last July, having cut the grass it now looks awful. I am assuming you'll be doing three litter picks in the next 4 weeks into July to make up the 3 you have missed? Please confirm when you'll be litter picking as all of this is causing a hazard plus polluting the watercourses.
