20MPH Signs Concealed By Pre-existing Foliage

15th June

New 20mph entry signs signs (installed within last 6-8 weeks) are completely concealed by foliage on both sides of road, and they've been like this since the moment they were installed 6-8 weeks ago. In fact the signs were installed DESPITE the existing foliage, making it almost impossible for motorists to see them when coming up Penny's Hill. Since this is a new limit, and the signs are concealed, many drivers are still under the impression that it's still a 30MPH road and fail to reduce speed as they would do if they were visible. If the purpose is to slow vehicles, the signs will remain useless for this until the foliage is cleared (should have been done at installation). So it's tempting to conclude the signs have been intentionally sited in the foliage in order to catch out unwary drivers if enforcement takes place in the near future.

Caravan abandoned

16th May

This Caravan has been left here for over a week. Parked in a turning circle making it impossible for residents, emergency services and food delivery vans. The window has now been smashed open and the door was left open. Someone has also tampered with the wheel and handbrake. Massive arson risk due to the area it has been left in. Worryingly close to my house.

Overflowing bins

6th February

Bin men can not collect bins as the machine can not lift them so they have left them outside the lockers to get ambushed by seagulls and fox's/cats. This has also caused the lockers to be unusable as the bins are too heavy to be moved. Massive environmental health issue. Most bin lockers are next to kitchens. Days have started becoming prominent.
