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.

Overgrown bush blocking pavement (Safety)

Bath Road side of The Southcote Beefeater. Obstructing pavement. I was walking down about to move to go past. I was nearly hit by a cyclist on the pavement travelling at speed. As they could not see the pathway.

Curbside
crossing & pavements overgrown and full of litter
From the roundabout on the A4 all the way up to the roundabout at Asda all the litter bins are full. The curbsides are full of rubbish and weeds and the area looks generally untidy. The yellow crossing barriers at prospect school are dirty, weed covered and in need of a new coat of paint. BB The weeds are also trapping litter that has blown out of the unemptied litter bins.

Bad road
15th May
The road needs to be done and also the roundabout is really bad when cars are parked around it it's then hard for emergency vehicles to get round and then it delays them getting to where they need to be and there are so many holes in the road and ypu need to stop the parents parking along elan Close when they are picking up their children from school

Overgrown tree blocking pavement and encroaching property
15th May
This lime tree hasnt been pruned/pollarded in several years, although similar (albeit smaller) trees in close neighbourhoods have. We have asked the council several times to no avail. It is now fully blocking light into our property, the branches are overhanging our front entranceway to our property, and is a nuisance to pedestrians, and particularly to disabled people and those pushing prams.

Overgrown bush obstructing pavement
11th May
The bush along Tilehurst Road at the junction of Southcote Road (just opposite the bus stop) is really overgrown.
The pavement here slopes down quite steeply into the road, and it's fairly dangerous especially for people with prams etc. who are forced out onto the sloping section to get past.
I've reported this before and nothing has happened
