When and why has the arcade been designated as a smoking area
12th May
Historically, the arcade was a non-smoking area, with signs displayed at both ends. Since the redecoration a few years ago, the signs have been removed. Now, with a licenced pub within the arcade, ash trays are being provided.
Surely this is in contravention to UK legislation? The arcade is a roofed area with openings that are significantly less than 50% of the walled area. It is also a public space and a place of work.

Drains not cleaned/cleared
9th May
Drains on Swinburne Ave cleared and cleaned today except for the cul d sacs which are part of Swinburne Ave You will see from the picture that the drain on our driveway at 42 Swinburne floods, this is every time it rains As well as getting closer to our garage door there is a fire hydrant on the drive which has to have an engineer to fix it every time it rains, surely its more expensive to fix the fire hydrant than clear the drain and I will also be reporting this to the fire service Please just come and clear the drain before there is a problem

Extensive pothole damage over 20 metres
3rd May
The whole road surface is degraded and there are many large potholes over at least 20 metres of road. The problem was reported before, over a year ago but nothing has been done. When it rains the dips fill with water and it is impossible to ride a bike safely along the road.

Accident waiting to happen (again)
18th April
Once again insufficient barriers set up for these roadworks
Public are easily opening the roads when works have finished for the day. With this being a blind corner, a crash is bound to happen
If you're going to close roads for works, make it so it isn't easily movable
