Nuisance behaviour on land owned by Reading Borough Council
21st May
Please can Reading Borough Council take action to stop illegal flytipping, dumping of abandoned vehicles, and antisocial parking by drivers trying to avoid residential parking restrictions which is taking place on land behind the sheltered housing at the corner of Rupert Street and Norwood Road. The grassy area is being churned up into a mud patch.
Enclosing the area with a small fence would do the job, or asking Parking Control Management, who enforce parking on the site, to deal with unlawful parking.
One of the vehicles in the photo, YK64LSF appears to be a licensed taxi, so perhaps your licensing team could speak to the licencee and say this is not really the kind of behaviour expected from a professional driver.
If the vehicles belong to workers at the sheltered housing, this is not acceptable behaviour as there is adequate parking space for them in the car park.
Thank you.

Traffic Lights Pointing Wrong Way
20th May
Junction of Bath Rd, Castle Street, Russell Street. Yet again some bright spark has decided to turn some of the traffic lights to the wrong direction potentially causing a dangerous situation as the wrong direction may see a green signal when in fact that direction is on red. A reoccurring issue at this junction makes one suspicious its being done on purpose by someone wishing to cause an accident. Urge the council to inspect this junction and re-align all the lights to the correct direction.

Complete collapse of road surface .
