FIXMYSTREET IN EH42 1RU
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of EH42 1RU:
Waste lorries parking for 12 hours in residential area, 29th February
After the landfill reopened this month, waste lorries have started to park up overnight. In the first image there are 3, with a further 2 out of shot. The road is obstructed too, as there is a load of wood chips deposited but without protection. In the second 2 images the day before there were 2 vehicles (blocking the pavement too). Between 2 and 5 vehicles are parking there overnight. There are no toilet facilities anywhere nearby. The site is used by dog walkers, funerals and cemetery visitors, walkers and cyclists, golf course users. The landfill has experienced 2 major fires in recent years (attributable to lithium batteries which are inadequately screened) and the woodchips also represent a further fire risk.

Neighbour making bad smoke smell from burning stuff, 29th December
The owner of 2 Newtonless, Dunbar EH42 1QL is burning something that keeps making an awful smell of smoke that billows out across the whole street of Ironside Way. It has happened at least 5 times in the last few months, it’s not the smell of normal wood smoke, must be plastic or something similar to create the smell. There are children and babies on the street and it’s making it uncomfortable to go outside when the owner does this.

Unauthorised advertising?, 7th October
There are a series of bins advertising the sponsorship of a company in the Dunbar Conservation Area.
They are advertising a private LTD company, not a community owned energy company.
The complaint is that surely these adverts are incompatible with the DCA. Surely they require advertising consent? They should be removed.

The A1 litter is an embarrassment, 11th June
The litter on the A1 is so widespread that it is embarrassing to show visitors around the locality. The problem is worst near takeaways and near litter bins in lay-bys. Years since it was cleaned up.

Waste Vehicles Obstructing Pavement, 13th April
In the last few months unmarked waste vehicles are parking overnight in this layby, next to a housing estate, a popular walking spot, the local cemetry and the main NCN76 cycle route. They frequently obstruct the pavement, as in the photo. On this occasion there were 5+1 out of shot. They are loaded with unknown waste materials, which the general public ought to know about. It is rumoured that they sleep here and use the parkland to relieve themselves. Their destination is the Valencia run landfill.

A growing pothole on the A1 off to A1087, 21st August
By the winter this pothole is going to be larger enough to cause problems to traffic turning onto the A1087. As it is this junction is increasingly dangerous due to the increase in very large vehicles using it, and local traffic from south Dunbar heading to Whitesands.

Ruined pathway where bus shelter was removed (south side of road), 14th December
The damaged bus shelter on the south side of Lochend Road, just past Lochend Avenue, was completely removed months and months ago. However the path was never repaired where it was removed and the pathway there is uneven, broken, bumpy and not safe. A smattering of gravel was thrown in the massive holes made but the gravel doesn't even cover the holes fully. There are 4 holes in total and 2 in particular are massive - there is barely room between the hole itself and the grass verge to pass by. A wheelchair can definitely not pass. My son's bike, with stablisers, cannot pass. This a route to school for so many children in the area and the uneven pathway means that sometimes the bikes are off balance and near the traffic on the road itself. A serious accident waiting to happen. Please help.
