Seagulls!, 29th July
At this time of year the town is infested by Herring gulls and their young! They terrorise the neighbourhood, keep residents awake at night through their loud and persistant sceeching attack and 'dive bomb' pedestrians (especially in the vicinity of their young), squirt guano all over property and cars, and worst of all, rip open bin bags left in the street for collection in the search of food, which they then spread about the town's streets and alleys! In short, they are nothing short of a public menace and should be treated as vermin!Under the "Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981" the Council is allowed measures to be taken against certain common species of birds (including herring gulls) on grounds which include the preservation of public health and safety. The Council should act or face being called to account by the townsfolk.

Green traffic light not working , 27th June
The Green light isn't working on the town side on the opposite side from Junior school.
This is a reoccurring problem with these lights over the last two years. May be there is a problem causing the fault which requires more work to be done than just putting in a new bulb.
Given the location to the schools this is a safety hazard for kids at the school.

Large pothole, 23rd June
After the tarmaced entrance to the carpark there is a large drop/pothole on the left hand side when transitioning to the rougher surface. This may have knackered my suspension as I didn't see it in the bright sunlight. Please fill this in and one or two other emerging holes. It only seems fair judging by the amount of money I have fed your car park machine!

Inadequate signage of one-way street, 18th June
At the junction of Phoenix Road and Ironworks Road, there is inadequate signage of the one way system on Ironworks Road.
Yes, there are signs, but not where a driver intending to turn right will be looking. Drivers turning right and hence facing oncoming traffic (sometimes at speed) are a regular occurrence - another was observed only today.
A colleague has tried reporting this to the Highway Agency, but the response has been to blame the drivers ability. This appears to be a classic case of ignoring human factors and blaming humans when things don't work out.
