FIXMYSTREET IN LE5 4PW
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of LE5 4PW:
Speeding (Primary schools) during school hours, 7th May
I am writing to express my concerns regarding the lack of adequate traffic calming measures, specifically speed bumps, in the vicinity of Land of Learning and Evington Valley Primary Schools. Both schools are vital institutions in our community, nurturing hundreds of young learners daily. However, the absence of speed bumps on the roads surrounding these schools poses a significant safety risk to the children, staff, and visiting parents.
The roads adjacent to these schools witness considerable vehicular traffic during school hours, raising the potential for speed-related accidents. Implementing speed bumps would significantly reduce this risk by encouraging drivers to slow down, thereby enhancing the safety of all pedestrians in the area.
Several parents and local residents share my concerns, and we believe that taking action to install speed bumps would demonstrate the council's commitment to child safety and proactive community management. It is crucial to ensure a safe environment around educational institutions to promote a secure and positive learning atmosphere for our children.
I kindly urge you to consider this matter with urgency and to initiate a survey or a consultation process to evaluate the best traffic calming solutions for the areas surrounding Land of Learning and Evington Valley Primary Schools. Implementing such measures would undoubtedly be a proactive step towards safeguarding our children and promoting peace of mind for all parents and educators.
Thank you for your attention to this critical issue. I look forward to your swift action.

N/a, 24th March
Hello, we need a speed camera at the bottom of Colchester road but before the traffic lights. Too many large Lorries and trucks and cars speed down the road. When large trucks are speeding down the road it causes all our houses to vibrate. We are all fed up. I am writing this on behalf of the residents of Colchester road. Please do something about this.

Verge not maintained, 21st March
The local authority managed grass verge has tree branches left on there for a number of months from when trees have been trimmed by the local authority. Also the tarmacadam area of the verge is prone to flooding as it extremely uneven. I would respectfully request that the branches are cleared away as they are unsightly aswell as being a possible nesting site for vermin. Secondo would like that Highways or whomever maintains the verges contacts the homeowner at 417 Uppingham Road to discuss the renovation of the tarmacadam area as this leads to a private driveway.
