Destruction of healthy trees, 21st January
Hi, I have lived in this cemetery 12 years, the photos are two of three that recently had “work done”. I sort advice from someone with 30 years experience at our local horticulture college, he found no disease whatsoever on said trees so I reported to the council who handed it to the people who cut the trees to investigate, who obviously found no wrong doing. In a time where we are encouraged to think of our environment, look out for nature I was saddened to think I had to leave it there however it is council policy to replace fallen or felled trees they have replaced none of the 18. Every year the ground becomes more water logged, puddles have turned to pools that are still visible in spring they have recently had to deal with a huge sink hole only meters from the cemetery. I have suggested planting replacement trees or even if they short of money giving members of the public the opportunity in memory of loved ones. Please help. Blackhill cemetery Durham Road Consett.

Burnt out wheelie bin in green area, pavement and roads need cleaning., 28th August
The street and surrounding area looks scruffy and unkept. There's a burnt out wheelie bin in a public green area. Public plants and grass looks overgrown. Neighbors aren't cutting their grass, front or back. Been like this for months and it's bringing property value down. Thank you.

Overgrown trees, 14th May
Some years ago the council installed a park bench at a point that had a panoramic view of the Derwent Valley from Aynsley Terrace in Consett. As you can see from the attached photos, the view has now gone. These trees are just giant weeds to me. Can they not be cut down?

Report on FixMyStreet
Our neighbour has a double drive and only ever parks his car on it, even after he got it extended after moving in. He has a Lloyd work van to which he parks in the street. He's only doing it to annoy other neighbours and to be awkward. The parking issues on this estate are becoming a real issue!, 28th September
This is steading court Consett County Durham and although it's a lovely quiet estate the parking is a nightmare. The van is the issue and has been for months. The owner of the van extended his drive but fails to use it properly. He only parks his car on it and so he parks his van every night across from his drive to obstruct other vechicles parking there. Not everyone in this estate has access to a drive and some houses may have 2 or more vechicles which need alternative parking. I would just like someone to help in this matter to see if we can get anything resolved
