FIXMYSTREET IN SN14 0RN
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of SN14 0RN:
Street lights obscured, 6th March
The "new" street lighting seems to be on a shorter pole and definitely with a shorter reach arm. This means that however bright the light is, it is much more quickly obscured by the foliage. Obviously the council is not simply a contractor to put up equipment, but they are responsible for providing a service. In this case (and many others) the service is not provided despite fully functioning equipment. There is clearly a need for some alternative lampposts which allow for a greater spread of light. Its also a sad waste of public money to have installed inappropriate equipment in the first place. I do hope the council will take responsibility for their shortcomings and work with their partners to resolve this.

Excessive overgrown bushes obstructing public footpath and vehicular access road, 9th June
The public access road at the rear of Brunel Ct. And Rowden Hill bungalows, leading to Lady field, is badly overgrown by bushes, brambles and vegetation. This needs urgent cutting back as the access is used by cars and pedestrians, many of who are elderly and infirm. There have been several near misses where drivers are unable to see pedestrians and pedestrians are forced into the vegetation. Please liaise with the correct depth to fix this issue as left in the current state there will soon be serious injury. (this has been reported to Wilts council on numerous occasions. Photos to follow - thank you

Washing up bowl sized potholes, 10th April
Obviously repairs have been carried out on the drain in preparation for resurfacing in May, but the road around it is falling apart. It's on the final approach to the roundabout going north, not helped by the huge amount of traffic using the road. It's a real danger for everyone.
Report on FixMyStreet
Turning head obstruction, 18th December
One of our neighbours consistently uses the turning head as a parking space for their own and visitors vehicles and this obstructs other vehicles, including deliveries and ambulances. This is a narrow street, technically single lane and the very same neighbour parks their other vehicles roadside in front of other houses (not theirs) that causes even more obstruction.

Rocking manhole cover on Westmead Lane, 21st June
The state of Westmead Lane is extremely bad and particularly outside Bowles Court which is an elderly peoples' development. The manhole covers in general are very badly potholed around them and one in particular is rocking every time a vehicle of whatever size passes over it. This is causing distress to residents whose properties front Westmead Lane in particular one resident who is recently discharged from hospital and the recovery is being delayed due to the noise.
