I've been out and about quite a bit recently delivering our latest newsletter across the ward and I've been doing my usual chore of photographing and reporting in little problems with what the Council officers called 'streetscene' - how things look on our streets, in layperson's terms.Aside from a busted street light or two and the worst of the grafitti I've come across, I've also asked for replacements for a couple of road signs - see pics from Nugent Hill and Clare Road. While a little thing in the big scheme of the world, getting these done this is important, partly as it makes the place look nicer (and therefore reduces fear of crime) and partly because there is always a small danger that an emergency vehicle won't find their way - even in the days of sat navs!
If you're aware of something like this that needs sorting out, you can usually just telephone the Council's main number (9222000) and they will redirect you to the right person. Alternatively, you can use the Fix My Street website, which sends on an e-mail - I've tried it and it does work, though it seems a little slower than calling the Council directly.
