Car vandalism, 24th October

Fri, 24 Oct 2008 11:32:08 +0100

Cars are being frequently vandalised on and around Newry Park. In speaking to residents, they are suffering significant damage to their cars; be it tyres slashed or deep scratches being made. Residents believe it to be youths that do not live in this area. My car has sustained over £200 in damaged in the last two weeks which as a student, is a lot of money.

Dog fouling on Elton School Field, 30th June

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 13:24:05 +0100

I have an issue with people walking their dogs on the school field and allowing then to defacate on this field. One side has been fenced off properly, but that leaves the other side wide open to misuse/abuse. My daughter attends Elton primary school and uses the field in the daytime for p.e, how can we expect the children to be safe from dog faeces when people use this field as a communal dog exercise area and DONT pick up after their dogs.

Broadband - BT Lines, 23rd June

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 11:34:50 +0100

This probably not a council issue, but i run a business from home that relies on the internet during business hours and the BT lines for broadband are atrocious. When signing up we were told we could only receive 4MB broadband because we are at the end of the line from the junction box at Helsby. I have recently been testing the speed and receive between 0.3 and 0.4MB. When the line is being used a lot between here and the junction, the connection drops so low it disconnects. I am then left with no internet access for sometimes hours at a time. Contacting BT alone makes no difference and i don't know where to go next as this is something that needs sorting out with the increase in Broadband subscribers.

Noise Nusiance, 6th May

Tue, 06 May 2008 20:33:57 +0100

Chronic noise nuisance, has gone on since Summer 2007. Teenage boy and friends playing drums and electric guitars accompanied by amplifiers and microphones. Their address is: 10 Glebecroft Avenue, Elton, Chester. Unbearably loud noise. Frequent bad language. Various times of day, both weekdays and weekends. Reported to police twice. Reported to Council numerous times. Parents have taken no action despite our complaints (including in person). We have been verbally abused with accusations on several occasions by people who believe the noise to come from our property. No peace and quiet in our home. Unable to spend time in our own garden when this noise occurs. We also feel we will be unable to sell our property for a fair price as a result of this teenager and his behaviour. It is causing great amounts of stress and we are becoming concerned about impact on our health. The Council always say there is 'no-one available' for us to speak to when we call, and promise to call back. We have NEVER had a callback. Please help us!

Dumped Building Rubbish in Courtyard, 6th March

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 15:24:37 +0000

Following work on houses in Dove Close, Building rubbish including wood paint-cans plaster bricks etc have been dumped in the courtyard this over the last few years. Nothing has been done by the residents to clear this up. It is not only an eyesore but a health hazard. Most normal people when they have rubbish dispose of it sensibly, why not the residents of Dove Close?

Plot of land opposite house names Woodvale and Avenlie on marsh lane in Elton has become overgrown and has become an area for some people to fly tip on.This plot of land when fully overgrown, not only looks a mess but it also grows into the road on Marsh lane.I have reported this to my local council, but apparently they do not own it.I was informed that they did no who the owner was , but this person has since moved house.Can you please have someone take a look, as this not only looks unsightly, but if nothing is done people will continue to fly tip on this land.
