Sinking manhole cover, 7th January
This sinking manhole cover has been here for several months and is getting worse as time goes on. Cyclists are having to swerve to avoid it which is very dangerous with other traffic nearby. The cover is easy to see - it is in the surface of the C77 immediately outside the entrance to McQueens Gardens.

Hi abbotsford roundabout is devoid of nature- there need to be trees and wildflower in the traffic island or at least wildflowers- there is no visibility issue- save for a bit on the far right if heading towards Galashiels..

Abandoned vehicle, 2nd April
There is an abandoned black land rover that has been parked in the same place for about 2 months now, It has no road tax (Its marked as SORN but is parked in a public parking space) and its MOT expired in 2019. I reported it to the DVLA over a week ago but they have not done anything about it, they may have struggled to find it. It is parked behind some flats next to church street road just down a small slope, if you see some vehicles parked below some flats then it is down there and to the left.

Overgrown trees covering streetlights, 23rd September
This section of road is unlit and dangerous for pedestrians due to trees being excessively overgrown around the streetlights. It is a walking route for students between town and the college, so good lighting and safety should be a priority.

Not enough spaces, 21st August
We have a big problem with parking in our street. Although not owned, the three space parking bay, next to my house has always been allocate to my house and my two neighbors. With all the houses up this end of the street, bar us, now owning more than one vehicle we are finding it impossible to park anywhere near our house. I know there's probably nothing that can be done as it's basically first come first served for spaces but I'm frightened there is going to be a major argument if nothing can be done. One of our neighbors works for the council and brings his work van home every night then parks their other two cars in the parking bay leaving no space for anyone.

Aged sign, 5th February
The school warning sign attached high up on a lamppost is very difficult to see. It seems to be very high and camouflages into the trees around it. The sign is also very dirty and green growth/moss like making it more difficult to see.

Constant reversing by articulated lorries/cars/vans etc etc, 18th March
I am constantly being woken up in the middle of the night or early (6am) hours of the morning with trucks/vans/cars CONSTANTLY using the car park entrance to turn around ! The signage at the start of glenfield road west is - NON EXISTENT - telling large vehicles there is NO THROUGH ROAD !!! This has been happening for months upon months - HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO "" REPLACE "" SIGNS THAT ARE NOT THERE ??? As a result of all the traffic turning ( with great difficulty - part of fence and sign at old folks home has been damaged by a lorry and the grass outside my block of flats has "GOUGES" out the grass from LARGE HGV WHEELS ) this is not only UNACCEPTABLE ( from a safety point of view - all large vehicles " REQUIRE " a banksman to reverse them in small or tight spaces - this can and will result in someone having a nasty accident as this is a busy through way for pedestrians and with kids going to school !!! For the sake of some proper signage that is not there - PLEASE MAKE IT CLEAR _ "" NO THROUGH ROAD FOR HGV's "" with the road being closed at the moment for sewerage repairs/replacement the situation is compounded by the amount of people who think they can still get through - EVEN THOUGH SIGNS ARE THERE SAYING " ROAD CLOSED " - I counted at least 64 cars on Saturday that had to u-turn and go back - CLEAR SIGNS ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED - AS RESIDENTS ARE BEING DISTURBED ALL DAY AND ALL DAMN NIGHT !!!
