Someone has left a pile of wood at the top of the back st for the bin men to take.The bin men dont take wood so it is still there.

Scheduled refuse collections not being done - Poor communication from Pendle Borough Council, 19th January

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 17:20:56 +0000

The scheduled refuse collections in this area are not being done despite several complaints to the council. The scheduled collections on the 4th (refuse), 8th (recycling) and 15th (refuse) have not been done. I understand that the weather would have made the collections on the 4th & 8th difficult (but not impossible) there was no excuse for missing the collection on the 15th. After several calls and emails from myself and my wife we still have not had the refuse collected or any return communication from the council. I would like a call from the council telling me exactly when the refuse will be collected and if the recycling collection due on the 22nd will go ahead. All we ask is for the common courtesy of a reply and for the rubbish to be collected this week.

Dog fouling along Hallam rd to Hilldrop, 30th December

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 15:05:09 +0000

Young guys living up the hill mainly Smith st to Tavistock road own these rather scary looking dogs some quite big which they take down to Hallm rd and Hilldrop to do their business. They dont seem keen to soil their streets but people along Hallam rd and Hilldrop have to deal with the dog fouling. With a little effort they can be caught, like clockwork in the am and pm they march down, but council dont seem interested. People can be seen walking in the road sometimes because the side walk cant be used.

Grit Bin, 24th December

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 09:24:12 +0000

Please could you grit heyhead street or leave a Grit Bin and residents will grit the street themselves, it is getting v dangerous to get out.

Back street used as extension to rear yards, 5th December

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 13:57:10 +0000

There are several properties at the bottom end of Lord Street (which shares a backstreet with Princess Street) that are leaving out there wheelie bins and recycling bins all the time. These are making the environment I have to live in very unpleasant and unhygienic. There is also loose rubbish, which probably once started out in a wheelie bin, just thrown into the back street. It’s a mess.

Speeding Cars, 4th December

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 18:01:23 +0000

Princess Street is being used as a short cut between Albert road and north valley road by people wishing to avoid the traffic lights. These cars drive at excessive speeds down a quiet residential street which comprises of elderly residents and couples with young children. The police have been made aware of occasions of dangerous driving however this is becoming more frequent and I think the problems needs to be addressed.

Brown bins, 20th November

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:16:48 +0000

I phoned the town hall up about the brown bins at 60 barrowford rd they are allways out the bottles cans newspapers plastic trays are blowing all down the back st looks like a tip no wonder there are rats about

Rats, 23rd October

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 20:04:29 +0100

The garden of no 16 kensington st nelson is overgrown and full of rubbish in the last few weeks a load of wood has arrived .To cap it all rats have now been seen.

Derelict house and garden, 14th September

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 22:05:48 +0100

This house has no toilet, rotten windows and is completely unhabitable. Can the council make the owner whom at the moment is campaigning to keep others houses from being demolished in the area? The garden is a dumping ground and as of today a large amount of old joists from St Mary's church were delivered. This is a disgracefull plot which shows the rest of the street up.Please please help in keeping our streets tidy and a place where we love to live.

Enough is Enough, 6th September

Sun, 06 Sep 2009 20:14:14 +0100

Hi, Could someone from the council please take a look at the dog fouling problem we have on Calf Hall Lane. We have a dog bin at the bottom of the lane and one just before the first cattle grid,however we have a real fouling issue! Today I tried to cut the grass down either side of the lane up to Cow Pasture Barn and to be honest I had to stop due to nearly being sick from the smell of dog fouling on the tyres of the tractor! I normally drive the lane and don't often walk it however I did today and after seeing the disgusting amount of dog foul its driven me to search the net to take action on trying to stop the culprits. I look forward to your response!

Dangerous wall, 25th August

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 21:06:49 +0100

The red brick wall on the disused timber yard at the bottom end near the canal has a large hole in the middle, children are accessing this through the gardens, the red bricks are falling, this has become dangerous!!!!

Corruption , 23rd August

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 08:51:20 +0100

The Council are sending findings of courts to properties know not occupied as FOR SALE causing them not addressing disputes re: FULL COUNCIL, TAX & to use Bailliffs [ who deny] to steal fixtures and fitting when know they have negligent estate & managing agents with conflict of interest managing their rent to buy & acting fraudulently . They have also refused CC payment but since taken amount submitted by cheque . Need to compensate for damage done & goods taken that solicitor and police not acted on .Outrageous with MPs & Councillors not representing??!!Why are landlords being made to pay for tenants illegal actions.

Gardens, 21st August

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:38:59 +0100

Gardens overgrown and used as toilets for dogs,can owners be made to clear them up or can they be taken over by other people who will look after them

Garden, 23rd July

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 18:36:50 +0100

Is it possible to get the occupiers( 58 sackville street) to clean their garden up, it has loads of rubbish in it and is overgrown, want to sell my house but the state of the garden will put prospective buyers off.

Derelict land, 23rd July

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 18:10:31 +0100

This area of land was fenced off by the housebuiders ( lovell homes ) and it has been totally forgotten by the authorities . It is overgrown , the fence is always getting broken by kids with footballs . All we ask is that it is tidied up eg . levelled out and grassed with the council mowing it now and then . There is access through a double gate . This area is dragging down the whole estate and affecting the area as a whole . It has been reported several times to the local councillors but nothing is ever done .

PACKAGING - recycling / dustbin, 23rd July

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 15:43:53 +0100

The Council are demanding Council Tax when don't live there and a disabled pensioner . The Councillors & MP refuse to address any issue. The amount of rubbish was minimal as had letter sent & the Managers father had left packaging from carpet laying .Over 10 calls 3/ /4 months ago and to this Manager in Nelson . It was agreed the new tenant[ special needs ] would put in his dustbin and recycling .Has he got his own mine disappeared. Since the council have been demanding council tax for last year what for ?What have I been paying for as they are now sending notices yet again for a paltry amount but it is the principle .How ridiculous can you get ??!!

Persistant Obstruction of Access, 20th July

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:52:15 +0100

The map shows a narrow 'L' shaped back street with access from either Bank House St. at one end or Ford St. at the other. My Garage is situated at the corner in the middle of this back street and is most easily accessed via the Ford Street end. Off-street parking is almost none existent in this area and it is quite common for both sides of Bank House and Ford St. to be lined with parked cars. This in itself is not a problem but people looking for a place to park are now parking on the back street itself. One at each end! Because the street is so narrow, this effectively blocks off any access to my garage. Can something be done to keep at least the Ford Street end clear of parked cars?

Rubbish , 2nd July

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:35:02 +0100

The back street is full of furniture carpet,house hold waste and box's for an area where the council is keen to encourage selective licensing and a ward which is part of regeneration this is a total disgrace.

Fletcher street , 12th May

Tue, 12 May 2009 14:24:47 +0100
