New problems to Breckland District Council on FixMyStreet

Terrible soil erosion/misuse of landscape, 1st November

Sat, 01 Nov 2008 14:37:30 +0000

Alongside the pedestrian pathway beyond the Post Office/convenience store, there is on the small grass covered hill parallel to the path a very serious soil erosion problem. Despite loads of useful paths everywhere close by, this cut'through path is wearing the hill down substantially and when people use it or when it rains, soil and stones easily fall onto the main path below causing a pile of soil to build and cause obstruction problems/bike punctures if little flints on tarmac from loose soil. Please can this worn hill be repaired, with renewed soil plus new grass and a means of preventing people from abusing it any further. A path is just not needed there. Thank you.

Overfilled trashcans - too little recycling, 28th October

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 11:29:20 +0000

It has been an on-going concern in this neighborhood that many people tend to not bother recycling much, and instead overfill their trashcans by 1-3 bags each fortnightly collection. Can we please encourage better recycling efforts by penalizing residents across the region who habitually overfill their trashcans?

Graffiti sprayed on boundary stones, 28th October

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 11:28:50 +0000

Two weeks ago I noticed the three large boundary stones on the public lawn between the road and my house had each been sprayed with black happy faces. May we have these sorted out? Thank you.

The Old Workhouse Bawdswell. Licensees often absent leaving poorly trained staff running bar. Rowdy behaviour and underage drinking going on

Potential dangerous dog, 5th September

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 11:57:09 +0100

I was putting some mail through the mailbox of No.100 St. Martin's Way, Thetford today and my fingers were literally nearly torn off my right hand! This dog was very ready to attack and any mailman is also at risk of attack. I saw it vaguely through the mailbox, and being familiar with dangerous dogs in the UK, I ask if this dog can be examined to ensure either it is not illegal under the Dangerous Dogs Act or in a postion to harm others?

Graffiti on public wall, 5th September

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 11:56:54 +0100

On the wall next to but not part of No 33 St. Martin's Way, there is a large graffiti drawing of three capital letters.

Park becoming derelict, 2nd September

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 18:37:49 +0100

This park is a great center of play for local kids. Yet in the past year nobody is doing anything to fix the graffiti or replace/fix missing/broken play structures, such as the swings. Can this be remedied, please?

People flytipping, 2nd September

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 18:37:42 +0100

In recent weeks I'm noticing an increasingly large pile of bags of trash dumped at this corner by a mini parking lot. It is never collected by refuse men, and shouldn't be here at all. It is even obstructing access to the sidewalk next to it.

Forest covered in old trash, 22nd August

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 12:33:39 +0100

The forest path cutting through the trees is often used by local folks, but tends to have a decent amount of trash (old and new) scattered around, like beer cans, cigarette stompies and candy wrappers. Can this be sorted out to clean up the woodland environment? Thank you.

Trashcans still very overfilled, 22nd August

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 12:33:28 +0100

I have noticed the green trashcan at No.85 St.Martin's Way when put out by its users is always too full with between 1-3 trashbags routinely over the top. Consequentially many flies are close by and I can't open my windows then or they'll get in my house. The council don't seem interested on the exceeded limit at No.85 whereas others councils would slap a fine down. I have reported this concern before in recent months and no action/response has been made to date. Can something be done to prevent over exposure of trash?, which leaves the lid a good half meter open and not just a little bit.

Graffiti on fence, 22nd August

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 12:33:21 +0100

I reported this a while ago. There is orange graffiti writing sprayed/painted on the fencing around the back garden of No. 84 St. Martin's Way, Thetford. It says STW and it would be nice to have it cleaned up or removed asap. Thank you.

Trees and bushes, 18th August

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 08:52:07 +0100

The trees and bushes are trailing over the footpath making it hard to walk past without going onto the road. This is bad as it is on a slight bend and traffic is busy and fast.

St Edmunds Court, 6th August

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 16:02:42 +0100

For a long time the street sign for St Edmunds Court was damaged and neglected, but there, now the sign has disappeared all together. Delivery drivers attempt to deliver to what they think are St Michaels Close addresses.
