3 kerbstones loose due to traffic impact, 8th January
Vehicles repeatedly mount the kerb due to poor parking in the vicinity of Somerby Village Shop (by both residents and shop users), where the road narrows and drivers come around the corner to find oncoming vehicles. The three kerbstones were re-laid 12 months ago but are now loose (I don't know how long this has been the case as I usually walk on the opposite pavement due to the inherent danger of speeding traffic on that side). As a pedestrian, if you stand on the end they lift which could throw you off balance and into the road or cause a serious injury to someone who trips as a result.

Broken Stile, 26th June
This stile was also broken, along with the fence leaning backwards making it difficult to climb over. Again the stile is totally unsafe. I would say that it isn’t a well walked path hence the state of the two stiles

Broken stile, 26th June
Stile is broken, also not helped by the fact that the fence with it was on the slant and loose making it totally unsafe to use. The only way over was to get someone to hold the fence steady.

Motorcycles using bridleway, 8th February
We went to Burrough on the hill on Saturday and as we started walking towards the hill, four scramble motorcycles came roaring towards us. We continued to the public footpath and what a mess. The path has been churned up leaving foot deep trenches making walking difficult. In parts the path is narrow and should walkers come face to face with the motorcycles it is an accident waiting to happen.The path is deeply rutted all along and across the road. Then on Tuesday we were driving that way towards Twyford and saw at least eight of these motorcycles heading towards Burrough. My understanding is that these bikes should not be using the public rights of way

Dog Barking, 30th March
Aggressive and constant barking dogs . This happens both day and night for prolonged periods. Other residents have complained but the barking still persists. This is adversely affecting people's sleep and people trying to work from home and just the ability to relax in general.
This can be at 2 o'clock in the morning or at 6 o'clock on a Sunday Morning. The owners seem to make very little effort to train the dogs .
