FIXMYSTREET IN WN1 2RH
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of WN1 2RH:
Sharing disabled spit to guarantee parking, 13th July
The van and the 2 vehicles behind it all share the disabled spot according to which vehicle is the last to turn up deliberately taking up 3 spaces in the street for one household and if you even think of parking directly infront or behind the disabled spots they become aggressive and demand you move the car atleast 3 metres away from either front or back lines in my opinion the disabled spot should be revoked as its not being used for its intended purposes and is just a way to try and control the parking issues on the street.

Car parked dangerously and illegally on double yellow lines outside my flat., 12th July
Car registration number MD69 FJZ parked illegally on double yellow lines and dangerously right on the corner of Upper Dicconson Street and Grayson's Close Wigan. I wouldn't have reported this but the rear of the car is sticking out dangerously away from the kerb and it is ridiculously parked. This is a permit zone also so it is illegally parked in several ways. I have been out visiting my parents so i don't know how long it has been parked there.

Hazarous roadway and footpath causing damage and injuries, 8th July
The current condition of Ashford Rise roadway and footpaths is now at a state where near misses and incidents are occurring. This is a safety hazard that is not being acknowledged, nor any controls being put in place by the local authority to reduce the risk.
The road way is abnormally uneven with re-occurring sink holes, also the roadway on the hill of Ashford rise is starting to crumble causing a loose top surface. There has been two vehicle incidents in the past three months, where vehicles have skidded on the loose surface. This is also a potential hazard to pedestrians and children in the street.
The footpaths on the street are also at a state of unevenness causing trip hazards. Recently a visitor to the street tripped and was sent to A&E with a head injury.
I understand members of street have been in communication with Wigan Council over the last 2 years, where the council had advised the remediation works would start early summer 2021. When trying to make contact with council recently they have not responded.

Two pot holes within a few feet of each other, 10th November
Really deep pot holes about 30 foot from each other along this road. With cars parked on other side of road and both sides of traffic having to pass with smaller space it's impossible to avoid these. Been there for years but getting in worse condition

Parked cars always blocking our driveway and the only footpath to estate, 27th September
There is only one road that goes onto our estate. The house opposite us is a house where a disabled man lives who needs carers. It is the carers, and workmen doing work on the property, who regularly visit the house who park and cause a lot of distraction. Not only do they park opposite our driveway, which makes it impossible for us to get on and off without knocking on their door and asking them to move, but there is only pavement on their side of the road and they constantly park cars fully across it which in turn causes people who are walking or pushing prams to walk in to the road. Recently, which is the reason I am now contacting you, a young boy on his bike cane round the corner had to drive out in to the road as a car was coming towards him. I saw this from my living room window. Luckily, the car stopped and the boy swerved round him but this constant parking across the only pavement is getting ridiculous and almost daily!

Vehicles blocking access to gates and rubbish being dumped, 30th July
These vehicles are always parked. It makes access to the gates difficult and should there be a fire, the emergency service couldn't gain access. A lot of rubbish is being dumped, usually outside the walls of other people's homes instead of their own. It is only a matter of time before this attracts vermin. It can only be people from either Swinley Street, Swinley Lane or Heaton Street as they're the only ones with access.
