Shoddy grass cutting, 20th April
My expectations of the grass cutting on the verges last week should be it looks recently cut.... This time was there any point? It was cut on the highest setting which has literally taken of a cm? It's terrible that the grass is being cut and the contractor is literally just skimming, surely it's worth cutting right back short as it will be a few months until it's cut again?

Car blocking pavement, 4th April
This has been here at least since this morning and is still there now in the evening. It is completely blocking the pavement on that side so blind / hard of sight people and pushchairs have to go into the road to avoid it. There is room for cars to get past without them parking like this.

Pothole appearing by road constriction, 3rd April
This pothole appears every year in the same place. Perhaps you can manage a permanent fix for once. It's not large yet, but it will be. It's in that great space by the road constriction that means it catches most cars.

Large potholes at the roundabout at the junction of Tring Road and Overdown Road Tilehurst Reading, 3rd April
The raised up mini roundabout at the junction of Tring road on Overdown road Tilehurst has large potholes around it which vehicle's tyres are kicking up stone's which can damage car's windscreens and cause an accident. In November 2023 this West Berkshire council had the raised up circle and the surrounding lines leading up to the junction painted white. This involved the area being closed off for several hrs and involving several highway maintenance vehicles and approximately 12 workers. This West Berkshire council is waisting council tax payers money in allowing work to be carried out on painting the junctions but not repairing the potholes prior to painting. The workers painted over the potholes without filling them in

Crumbled Grass Verge, 26th March
There is a grassverge which has crumbled curb/footpath inwards into it and become a bit marshy. The Path is also too steep downwards and then immediately flat. Both of these issues are causing cars when driving out of our driveway to get stuck in the grass verge bit after scratching the front and back of the car where they are scraping against the floor getting out of the driveway.
