New problems to Argyll & Bute Council on FixMyStreet

Uneven road surface, 20th November

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 20:09:14 +0000

Some deep and dangerous pot holes along this road

The terrible state of the roads, 30th October

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 16:03:50 +0000

Throughout Helensburgh the roads are in a dreadful state and have been for a long period of time. Outside our driveway at 8A East Montrose Street the hole is just getting worse and worse. The whole of Montrose Street East and Argyll Street East and West need resurfaced.

Lampost not in operation, 1st October

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:56:58 +0100

Have reported to the council twice, as have our neighbours , the fact the lampost in the carpark doesn't work.As street lighting does not reach us from either Succoth or arrochar it is our only means of light.

Flooding, 16th September

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 09:41:06 +0100

Road about 300yds west of Kildavie farm flooded to depth of 4-6" for 20-30 yds. Suspect blocked culvert. If more rain today, likely to be impassable and this is now only road due to Dunglass Bridge being out. Excellent work has been done recently clearing ditches near here, but culverts need to be unblocked too.

Bad visibility, 12th August

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 08:03:03 +0100

This stretch gave a good opportunity to safely overtake slow moving vehicles after snaking down from the Rest And Be Thankful. After erection of the pointless wooden fencing which has destroyed the line of sight, this would now be a dangerous procedure

Loose manhole cover, 5th August

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 22:33:03 +0100

Opposite the filling station there is manhole cover which is loose and every vehicle driving into Tarbet goes over this manhole and sends a resounding clatter over the whole village. This has been like this for over 5 weeks and was still like this on 31st July. I am a regular visitor and cannot believe that the locals have let this go so long.

Ardentinny beach area rubbish, 11th July

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 12:18:08 +0100

The Ardentinny beach/picnic area of late has become a target for those who visit our community on holidays, long weekends, or just camping/drinking/fishing, and leaving the area in a very poor state. Litter comprising of beer and alcohol bottles and cans, used portable bbq's on forestry benches. Now the tree's at the far end of the beach are being Vandalised to supplement the beach bonfires, most recently with power saws. Additional policing either by Forestry, National Park, Council or Police is required in order to prevent these abuses of the area.

Dangerous and uneven footpaths, 24th June

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 07:50:39 +0100

The footpaths in front of my house and on the estate I live in are in a disgraceful condition. In front of my house there is uneven pavement which I and visitors to my home have tripped over and fell on. There are a lot of the pavements also uneven due to tree roots damaging them. I don't have a photo as my camera isn't working but the paths here are terrible.

Litter, 13rd June

Fri, 13 Jun 2008 10:02:16 +0100

I am not so much looking for the dropped litter to be picked up, as this is a daily occurrence and I pick up much of it myself - what I would like to see is some action being taken against the schoolchildren who drop the litter on their way home from school. They walk up from Cardross Station, buy sweets and drinks in the local shops, then drop the empty cans and crisp packets on Muirend Road and along Ritchie Avenue. Dropping litter is an offence, yet they are allowed to do it with impunity. Are there no litter wardens who could police this - or even the police themselves?

Fly tipping up near St peters Seminary, 29th April

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 17:50:19 +0100

Just to let you know of the problem in this area, numerous drops have been made that contains both large amounts of garden waste ( large tree cuttings) as well as household rubbish. A vehicle has been seen ( white flatbed type) on many occasions going to this path making it almost impassable. I have forwarded a photo of said vehicle on to the local dog warded/caretaker who is trying to find the vehicle owner

Increase amount of dog fouling, 23rd April

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 19:43:31 +0100

On Argyle Street there is an increase to the amount of people not cleaning up after their dogs. I have had several incidents right out side my door and want the council to put up signs warning as to the dangers of dog fowling, (dog waste can carry many illnesses and diseases such as: tosicariasis, Heartworms, Whipworms, Hookworms Roundworms, Tapeworms, Parvo, Corona, Giardiasis, Salmonellosis, Cryptosporidiosis, Campylobacteriosis and fecal Coliform Bacteria). More bins for the disposal of dog poo should be provided and an increase to the fine imposed on owners who do not clean up after their dog could be used to pay for the above.

B8025, 21st April

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 10:15:05 +0100

The B8025 west of Ivy Cottage is in a dreadful state of repair. It is severely potholed and not readily passable to cars. The road requires substantial and urgent repair.

Street light out, 8th April

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 22:14:02 +0100

This street light has been out for several months.

Not Neighbourly, 7th April

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 12:01:15 +0100

Various people in the area have just dumped unwanted goods in the back garden of No7 Kirkfield place. This property is vacant.It has become quite unsighly and I dont think it is very fair that someone else should have to eventually pay for thier waste.

Litter, 1st April

Tue, 01 Apr 2008 11:58:48 +0100

I have seen that a "No Dumping" sign has been erected here, but the rubbish already dumped there has not been cleared away. Nearby, in Stroul Bay, there are about eleven traffic cones in the sea which someone threw in some months ago. I really feel the council should clear these away at low tide one day, as well as all the litter in the place marked by the arrow. I walk past it every day and it is not very nice.

Barely any Road Surface Left, 28th March

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:54:46 +0000

This problem has been on-going for many years (over 5!), with several 'temporary' repairs that last only a matter of months. A permanent solution has been promised repeatedly, although has never happened. The road leads to a public car park and two dwellings, and is once again barely passable in anything other than an off-road vehicle!

Commercial Vehicle Parking 24/7, 21st March

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 10:58:50 +0000

Up to 9 commercial vans in various states of disrepair parked 24/7 in residentialstreet.Kerbside cleaning cannot happen(environmental issue) ,road safety issue with proximity of Primary School,limited parking restriction notices ignored,public eyesore,amenity blighted. 4years of attempting to get the business to act responsibly and/or the council to do something have resulted in no action against company involved.

Road full of holes, 19th March

Wed, 19 Mar 2008 09:41:09 +0000

The road is terrible please fix it
