FIXMYSTREET IN ME8 8QJ
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of ME8 8QJ:
Unclear Signage, 30th April
When Otterham Quay meets the Lower Rainham Road it’s very unclear of the speed limit on Lower Rainham Road. There are signs in Otterham saying 30 but part way along LRR there’s a sign in the road saying 20. I can only think some signs are either missing or overgrown . There’s a new housing estate being built so important to have adequate signage.

Car blocking footpath, 28th April
A red Skoda is parked very inconsiderately in front of a house in Elmstone Road blocking the footpath thus making it extremely difficult for anyone, paticularly anyone with a disability or a dog walker and impossible for someone with a buggy to pass safely without walking in the road.

Rubbish Out Early (again!), 11th April
So this is an ongoing issue! Every week, the bins and bags are put out early (sometimes early on a Monday, but usually over the weekend). But today takes the biscuit! The bins have been put out today (Thursday) for a collection next Tuesday! Let’s hope the cats and/or foxes don’t get there before then.

Old broken chair left out by someone on bin day, 11th April
The chair was left out with recycling/waste on bin day by someone. It’s now blocking the path and a broken part of it is on Wimborne Drive. I am concerned that someone might get hurt walking past it and it looks unsightly.

Traffic cones on central reservation on bridge, 1st April
Hi, can I ask why there are lots of traffic cones on the bridge over Mount Lane (w3w ///otter.mammoth.equality) between M2 Junction 5 and Medway Services?
Is there work planned here or do these cones need picking up?

HMO (House in Multiple Occupancy) 256 Station Road, 30th March
If you live the the lower part of Station Road ME8, please be aware that 256 Station Road is being converted into a HMO. No authority has been sought form Medway Council Planning or Building Control. This suggests the owner is not one for following rules and we may end up with tenants who are the same. I have registered my objection with the council and encourage others to do the same.

There is a large pothole in the centre of the road as you drive down from the school towards lower road. It is after the bridge crossing but before the new housing estate. It is a high risk to vehicles and is causing cars to swerve around it.

Four large potholes re-appearing again, 4th March
Due to poor job the first time round, the potholes are damaging to cars and would likely cause a bicycle to crash. Road was cut to lay services for new house but not done properly the first time, so refilling the holes has just sunk again after about a week.
