Whitechapel Market blocking road, 13th March

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 20:54:03 +0000

I find it difficult to move around Whitechapel because of the market and the fact that the traders and their customers keep on blocking the roads. I have heard similar complaints from other people as well.

Uneven paving, 12th March

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:33:57 +0000

The length of Fieldgate Street and in fact the general surrounding area is rife with uneven paving slabs. The paving moves underfoot and sticks up in places. Myself and my family/friends have tripped numberous times: One accident resulted in an injury causing permanent damage to my mum's knee which will require surgery! This dangerous paving combined with navigating the continual fly tipping, recycling bin bags left in the street (as there are no recycling bins in some of the streets, namely Myrdle street) and overfilled rubbish bins makes for a very unpleasant and hazardous walk. I look forward to your response, Kate Locke

Graffiti on war memorial, 12th March

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 12:34:37 +0000

There is gang-related graffiti on the sculpture in the war memorial gardens. This is not only unsightly but also promotes gang tensions in the area.

Unsightly Shutters, 11th March

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 02:40:55 +0000

I was in the park at Radnor Street with my family at the weekend, we are new to the area and think the area is really well kept, but I cannot belive that on what looks like a new building on Lizard Street backing onto the park the developers have been allowed to put up roller shutters they stick out like a sore thumb, it really is quite an eyesore on such a nice looking building. There also seemed to be an issue with a lot of people using the park as a dogs 'toilet area' and not cleaning up after their pets, not pleasant for the children (including my own) playing in the park.

New EXPENSIVE brick work dug up and badly replaced, 10th March

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:25:51 +0000

The very EXPENSIVE work recently carried out by Islington has been dug up by an unknown company and their attempt to replace it has resulted in an uneven surface. Well done Islington great cosmetic work that'll never last!

Deep sharp edged pothole in east bound side of road. Hit it hard in my car giving me an almighty shock. If a cyclist or motorcyclist hit it I dred to think what will happen

Bed and other assorted rubbish dumped, 9th March

Between 4 Westport Street and the care home, the small bit of 'waste ground' has become a rubbish dump.

Metal sign on pole, 9th March

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:53:25 +0000

A new, large Humps directional sign has slipped down the pole, becoming hazardous to pedestrians; in fact, someone has turned it so that it's now parallel to the road, and no longer serving its purpose. Personally I can't see the necessity of this and its matching sign on the opposite side of the road facing the other direction. It seems a good example of superfluous signage. I can't see why humps are signposted at all, since they are so ubiquitous on back and side streets, which everyone knows.

Collapsed paving slabs, 8th March

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 23:16:34 +0000

There's a huge hole in the pavement where 4-5 slabs are missing, it looks really dangerous. Barriers were put up around it but they've just fallen into the hole now.

There is a medium sized-hole surrounded by lots of gravel and small stones outside: 5 Gerard Place, Groombridge Road

Dangerously uneven roadway at entrance/exit to Cemex works, 5th March

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 09:19:26 +0000

TfL relocated the pedestrian crossing at the junction of The Highway and Butcher Row last year. Although this was probably done with good intentions, it has created another problem. Pedestrians now have to walk past the Cemex works on Butcher Row to reach the lights. The entrance/exit road to the plant is dangerously uneven and potholed. It also floods after small amounts of rain, which makes the trip hazard worse and forces pedestrians to walk onto the carriageway of Butcher Row to avoid the massive puddles, which is clearly very dangerous. I reported this to TfL last year. Despite chasing them with multiple phone calls and emails the best they have done is send somebody out to inspect the site. However, there appears to have been no follow-up after this inspection and the problem is just as bad as it always was. It's just a matter of time before somebody trips and breaks a bone or is killed by a vehicle after being forced onto the main road to avoid the puddles.

Rubbish on Street, 4th March

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:23:58 +0000

The occupants of the flats on the corner constantly leave rubbish on the street in bin liners despite a notice on the wall asking them not to. I often have to walk on the road to avoid the debris.
