Dog walker has a big dog as the fouling is quite substantial and happens on a regular basis, people walk through this as it can't be seen at night and it's in the middle of the narrow pavement, 7th January
This is happening on a regular basis and it's obviously a big dog, we need cctv to find the dog walker and get him retrained.

Council ignore illegally parked unlit abandoned trailer, 17th October
I reported this a week ago, no reply from council, the unlit advertising trailer which has been parked up and left for over a month is still abandoned directly opposite the exit from the petrol station causing a nuisance to their customers, an accident waiting to happen.

Fixed signage without planning permission, 11th October
Here for example is a case in point which is typical of fixed signage scattered across Fife road network and on land adjacent to it and at this location distracts form the real street signage etc. But this is an issue in all industrial estates and near the road network junctions across Fife where some business are erecting fixed signage and not even bothering with the get out clause previously of it being mobile.
This sort of thing is making Fife look very tardy indeed, any business having mobile signs directly outside their own premises as long as it doesn't block the route for pedestrians and cyclists is acceptable but the council needs to clamp down heavy on this commercial advertising down by a minority if left un-tackled imagine what Fife would look like if the 99% of other business's did the same. Get something down soon and keep Fife tidy.

Abandoned advertising trailer, 11th October
This trailer has been parked unlit permanently for 2 months now and is causing an obstruction to those leaving the BP garage and Travellodge.
Fife Council needs to clamp down on this sort of abandoned trailer advertising.

Overgrown trees, 15th August
These trees and bushes are so overgrown it is unbelievable & very untidy & unsafe especially when all the leaves fall off the trees & it rains it gets very slippery out there i partially disabled & makes it very hard for me to get my brown bin round when the weeds are overgrown onto the path & because the trees are so high & overgrown not a lot of light gets in the house it's very depressing & some people have taken matters into their own hands because no-one else seems to care this part of Stenton Crathes Close, I contacted a councillor quite a few years ago about this & nothing has been done the trees just keep growing up & outwards

Whole road is shot should have been fixed last year, 6th March
This road has broken up further now with the weather. Was previously yellow circled for repair by fife council last year but was not repaired seemingly due to lack of funds. Pavements seems to be the higher priority for fife council whilst the roads generally are disgrace just now . Another waste of taxpayers money sending people out marking roads to be repaired and not getting done.
