Fix My Street!!

You can pop in your postcode and read all the issues that have been reported. My area beats all the Facebook group town complaints. Issues reported include:

  • a road sign that is not regulation size - he actually measured it - 5cms out!!!
  • A shopping trolley not returned to the supermarket
  • a fruit tree marginally hanging over a fence - and I mean marginally as there is a photo.
  • cyclists not using the cycle path - not sure how this will be fixed by the council. No issues on the actual path just unreasonable behaviour says the reporter.

If you are the type of person who loves to read unreasonable complaints then this is the place for you.
Ps yes I need a hobby. Might start one reporting on Fix My Street 😂

This is excellent. So far my favourite is 'neighbour driving over pavement to get to their drive'. Not sure how else they'd supposed to reach it.

Toddlerteaplease · 16/09/2024 18:14

Doesn't work on my street. How disappointing!

UpUpUpU · 16/09/2024 18:20

Love this! Mine is mostly pot holes but there is a rather funny one from a guy complaining about traffic cones around some roadworks

InandOutlander · 16/09/2024 18:21

This is nuts.

Someone on mine has reported smoke coming from a house (I hope they also called 999!) and someone else their neighbours hedge is slightly over their front wall. Erm...go talk to them?

landris · 16/09/2024 18:24

Ooh, I'm looking forward to this one. Just popping out for a couple of hours but I will have a look when I return.

I suspect that at the moment it will be full of people complaining about the smell of shit. The farmers have been doing their muck spreading and it is, er, not nice.

Redglitter · 16/09/2024 18:31

I'm very disappointed. Everyone around here seems to be reporting potholes & street lights out

What a let down 😂

Crinkle77 · 16/09/2024 18:33

I'm fed up of the endless posts looking for recommendations, business posts of people buying/selling stuff.

NoShirtNoShoesNoSheldon · 16/09/2024 18:37

overgrown hedges encroaching on footpaths, potholes and a few photos of cars that are always obstructing the footpath or junction.

TerrifiedandWorried · 16/09/2024 18:39

Mine is entirely full of the council lying or passing the buck. Not sure they have actually fixed anything.

UpUpUpU · 16/09/2024 18:40

My favourite so far!

Mines full of fly tipping, overgrown bushes and hedges and bins overflowing with dog poo bags. Someone did report a dead beaver though 😆

Purpleraiin · 16/09/2024 18:45

Flytipping
Bumpy footpath
And multiple overgrown hedge blocking road sign, with pics attached. None are actually blocking the signs, the hedges are just growing around the bottom of the posts the signs are attached to 🤷🏼‍♀️

Someone near us has reported a dead deer with a bag on its head.😶

We have "potholes all over the road" (true)
And right next to it. "Portaloo". The Portaloo is for the workmen mending said potholes.🤣🤣🤣
A couple more potholes and that's it.

I also checked my parents', which only has abandoned car anywhere near. I'm astonished because the village is full of people loving to gossip about all sorts. Although it may reflect the age of the village and the lack of a decent mobile phone signal that reporting may be not done digitally.

Then I checked my sister's. To my surprise the place is filled with little dots.

An example: "Things are no better on X Street. In fact it’s getting worse all along the street and many others". Which has the total attitude of having a moan without telling anything of any issues so it might be solved. I suspect they report it regularly.
And another:
"Bins left on footpath. Household never take any bin in. Blue, green and brown bins. It looks unsightly. There are several Household with There bin left on the footpath, all over X estate."
Not sure what's going to be done about that by the council. Maybe drop the bins into the bin lorry and that'll solve it for a week! I suspect the below is from the same person.
"Unsightly garden grass grown in on to footpath around X estate for years. Home can't be bothered to tidy it up."

FrangipaniBlue · 16/09/2024 18:56

there's one near me complaining about "excessive water on the apex of the bend which will be a hazard when it freezes"

It's currently 18 degrees 😂

AmazingBouncingFerret · 16/09/2024 18:58

16th August there’s been a report of frequent and constant cottaging Grin

Via a proper dropped kerb out in by competent workmen to preserve the utilities that run under the pavement.

Do you live in a Mafia area 😆

FuckMeUpFlorida · 16/09/2024 19:03

Bloody amazing website.

On one hand I'm like 'ofgs get a life' and on the other 'this is bloody brilliant'.

There is a tree that's threatening to create a dam situation in a river near us
when it rains again, so I could be tempted to post..

StarSlinger · 16/09/2024 19:08

Excessive banging noise when cars drive over a manhole cover.

Big Pothhokes? Pot holes I assume.

The Mafia can’t cope with the amount of pot holes.

Blarn · 16/09/2024 19:13

Mine is all flytipping or badly parked cars. One of needles all over the ground which is very unpleasant. Another one detailing hundreds of dirty nappies dumped. And there are! There is a potty in the middle of them in the picture too, really odd!

doodleschnoodle · 16/09/2024 19:15

It's only drains around here! Corroded, covers missing, sunken ... going to go on a drain tour tomorrow.

They're all in a cluster so I think it must be a very drain-oriented neighbour,
