twowheelsgood Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Interesting that none of the items I log via fixmystreet have shown up on these reports since we've been able to see them (except perhaps the 'ad hoc c/way defect for Aylestone Hill near the copper kettle' - there are two blocked gullies here I've been reporting for two years).

dippyhippy Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Also interesting, two inspections of tripping incidents, resulting in personal injury claims. The state of many pavements in Hereford are a disgrace. To be honest, the only thing that really surprises me is that there aren't more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
