FIXMYSTREET IN EH10 5GE
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of EH10 5GE:
Pedestrian lights not working, 21st April
A number of the pedestrian lights are not working at this junction - both the red man and the green man are out on several lights. People have to decide when it’s safe to cross which is especially dangerous at a five way junction.
Also, the timing of the green man needs to be lengthened to allow more time for pedestrians to cross diagonally. They shouldn’t have to do it in two stages.

Hi!
Some of these barriers have fallen, with the effect of making the pavement dangerous to use.

Tree Leaning, About to Break Wall and Take Down Power Cables, 10th April
Hi!
My partner spotted this. This tree is leaning heavily against the wall which is clearly buckling, and when it goes it will take with it the power lines. I hope it won't electrify the canal when it goes.
Next to Meggetland View.
Please fix urgently.
Thanks, Ted Hart-Davis

Potholes and visible orange cables, 7th April
This issue, potholes, has been an issue for at least since December 23, Cables issue, for approximately 1 month. Turning left to go up this road, instead of accelerating, I take my time as there is one very large pothole; approx 5 inches deep, also there are other slightly smaller ones surrounding it. If there is another vehicle behind my car, some blast there horn, obviously wondering why I am going so slow. This is very hazardous and an accident waiting to happpen. Also on this road in the middle of the road, about a quarter of the way up, orange cables are visible above the tarmac.
