Current issue - blocked drain at chicane outside no16. Fencing and wall of council owned property (currently managed by Housing Association on behalf of CBC)been in a poor state of repair for at least a decade. Boundary wall of this property is a persistent dumping ground/garden is currently full of discarded bottes and cans, there are missing fence panels adjoining no. 16 and the NTL cable box serves as a rubbish bin (as such items of street furniture do in other neighbouring streets!)and is constantly daubed in graffiti. I understand from a council source that the future of the Military Road property may be reconsidered later this year - what consideration (if any) will be given to the views of adjoining residents about any proposed change of use? The complete inadequacy of even minimal parking (19 spaces for 24 properties) is made worse by witnessing the steady deterioration and degradation of the land surrounding the council owned property on Military Road. I am sure these problems will seem 'minor' to those who do not live here - but a poor and neglected environment has a corrosive impact on people's quality of life and health - and these are clearly not conditions that are tolerated in other more affluent parts of Colchester!
