New problems to Shepway District Council on FixMyStreet

New beach fencing about to disappear, 1st March

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:08:29 +0000

A new fence was erected in November 2009 ( just 3 months ago) on Greatstone beach at the location shown on the map; presumably as part of the sea defences. Unfortunately, the fence was erected below the high water level and is currently being eroded by the spring tides. Please see attached photos. Why was it erected in this location, knowing that such tides would erode it as they have done?

Damage to fence, 26th February

The barbed wire and wire fence to the holiday park has been pulled down in this corner, not a problem at the moment but when the holiday season gets here it could well be.

Street nameplate is confusing!, 26th February

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 14:08:39 +0000

The junction of Hardy Road and Meehan Road (facing towards the direction of the caravan park in Clark Rd) I live in Meehan Road and often get Delivery drivers, workmen etc... knocking on my door for a certain number ** Hardy Road, i always point them in the right direction for Hardy road but it does get confusing for people who are not locals as the street nameplate for Hardy Road is actually in Meehan Road and because the junction there is white lined for give way etc it is very mis-leading also there is not a sign to let people know that Meehan Road is on this road the council would only need to put Meehan Road street nameplate next to Hardy Road therefore identifying both road names.

A car battery, in a plastic bag, had been left in the roadway into the Leas Cliff Hall Car Park and has now been removed by a passerby to the footpath where it is danger of a pedestrian either tripping and falling over or being kicked about by youths who often congregate there at night.

Mud, 13th October

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:30:44 +0100

There is a considerable amount of mud been deposited the road by tractors, etc. coming out of Haguelands farm. This mud extends as far as Burmarsh village and almost to the main road. One car has already slid off the road and today I saw a motorcyclist almost come off his vehicle because of this. The farm owner/foreman is not bothering to clear this up and is totally indifferent to accidents caused by it.

The walkway joining the two estates is a favourite spot for irresponsible dog owners and inconsiderate people to leave their dog mess, coke cans, plastic bottles and fag packs. Could a permanent litter bin and poop bin be installed near the traffic lights please.

Ball games and truancy, 19th September

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 17:27:40 +0100

Request 1: - Clear overgrown trees from “No ball games sign” Request 2: - Police to warns children that hey should not be damaging property with ball games Request 3: - Investigate regular truancy claims I’m not sure if this falls under appropriate things to report, but the area of Battery Point has been getting worse and worse over the last six months or so due to uncontrollable children in the area playing ball games. They basically treat the street as their own playground and sometimes don’t seem to be at school. The residents in the area don’t mind a few games going on but now it is getting overboard. Balls are kicked into windows and car lights have been damaged but nothing seems to get done about this. Residents have tried talking to the children and their parents to no avail. There is a sign next to one of the offending kids houses that states “no ball games” but it is covered by overgrown trees, maybe trimming them back is request that might be more applicable for this site, the sign is between 19 and 20 Battery Point, Seabrook, Hythe. If a sign was up on display the residents would maybe feel a little more empowered at least. The children that seem to be the worse offenders come from numbers 19, 20 and 21 Battery Point. The kids that are often seen playing during school time come from 20 and 21. I would rather not give my details as I really don’t want to be targeted by the families in question. This situation has really made peoples lives a misery, noise all day and everyday means that they basically cant enjoy living in their own homes anymore. Any help or advice on what can be done regarding this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Mirror & Post on verge, 6th September

A flat rectangular mirror, mounted on a post, has been erected opposite the properties to aid exiting onto the main road. The mirror "swings" in the wind etc on its mounting which is distracting to vehicles approaching from the direction of Beachborough roundabout towards Etchinghill.

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 18:21:02 +0100

Our play park needs attention, the swings need fixing and we need new park equipment, myself and some other parents are willing to fund raise if need be for this. This parks materials have been there for 20 plus years as i have been told by locals while other parks in surrounding areas have had new and more equipment. All we have are swings that are not safe and a small climbing frame.

Hamlet Hotel- I do not think the bunting strung over the pavement and into the tree along with other items of advertising are legal and SDC should enforce their removal
