Issues Reported to Breckland Council 22.05.19

Breckland Council

·      Playground and Bus Stop sign along Fir Road, opposite entrance to Beech Close needs cleaning

·      Hole in pavement opposite number 1 Elm Road – possible pavement NCC but likely to be BDC

·      Rubbish at side of 70 Fir Road remains in place – mainly chopped tree trunks and branches – been in place for more than a year – land it is on belongs to Breckland and blocking pathway – needs to be removed

·      Pathway opposite 36 Oak Close in a poor state of repair – residents in the area who are elderly have commented on this and asked if it might be resurfaced? Likely to be a BDC path but possibly NCC?

·      Random pole along pathway between Fir Road and Elm Road – possibly previously had a sign attached to it – one further down the path as well – can they be removed?

·      Rubbish dumped at side of bin near to entrance to Almond Grove – regular issue and usually removed quickly by SERCO. Bin door however regularly left open – is lock faulty or just not locked when emptied?

·      Oak tree at bottom of Ash Close reported by number 2 Ash Close – can it be cut back so less issues for users of car park

·      Sign at entrance to former Elm Road play area – can this be removed? Play area now responsibility of Thetford Town Council – green barriers in this area also need repainting.

·      Nun’s Bridges / Town Centre blue sign along Fir Road near to entrance to Pine Close needs to be cleaned and reinstalled – currently wonky

·      Pine Close street sign needs replacement – very scratched

·      Rubbish bin on pathway from Staniforth Road to Pine Close, within sheltered housing scheme always overflowing with rubbish – this is the fourth time I have seen this in the past three months. Bin needs to be regularly emptied and ideally replaced with Glasdon type bin with enclosed top and bigger capacity (possibly a Flagship Housing bin?)

·      Further along the pathway above – another bin – completely surrounding by overgrown bushes which needs to be cut back

·      Rear of Pine Close shops in a terrible condition – bin store area has overflowing rubbish including food waste. Burnt out refuse bin has been in location for several weeks and not removed.
