Another little eyesore sorted!

The rusty, corroded cabinet on Bosworth Way near the park has now been replaced, along with the one on Hoselett Field Drive on the Fields Farm Estate.

It’s the little things that make a difference to how our streets look and feel.

Northcote Street is scheduled for a full thermal road repair this month.

This isn’t a quick or temporary pothole patch. The existing road surface is heated, reworked and bonded with new material to create a strong, seamless repair. It’s not full resurfacing, but it is a proper repair designed to last.

I'm not entirely sure what this is, but reported it anyway.

I'm guessing it could be an old utility marker post, possibly something to do with a water supply fitting or valve, or even electricity. honestly ... your guess is as good as mine!

Whatever it is, it's certainly seen better days. It's badly rusted and corroded, looks unsafe and isn't exactly adding to the street scene.

I've reported it and now I'm rather curious to find out exactly what it is and who it belongs to.

When it gets sorted, I'll let you know what the mystery post turns out to be.

Anyone know?

Local Government Reorganisation is withdrawn or paused across the country, with changes to next year's elections now cancelled following Judicial Review from Reform-led Councils.

Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage MP said:

“Reform UK not only argued that this government’s plans for local government reorganisation were an unmitigated disaster, but we once again put our money where our mouth is.

“Earlier this year we took on the government and forced them to give the vote back to millions of people after Labour tried to cancel democracy. Now, thanks to our judicial reviews in affected Reform-led councils, the government has backed down on their plans yet again.

“Only Reform had the backbone to stand up to these reckless plans. This is yet another embarrassing defeat for Labour. Only Reform backs real democracy.”

Road Safety... Grange Primary School, Station Road

I had requested a new school patrol flashing sign outside Grange Primary School on Station Road.

DCC are due to install the new post and school patrol flasher unit on 23 September, along with the new school sign. The utility company is also due to connect it to the electricity grid on the same day.

DCC had previously been out to carry out the work before school returned, but unfortunately parked cars prevented access to the location, so the installation had to be rearranged.

The work is now scheduled for 23 September and, once completed and connected then the new flashing school patrol sign should be operational outside the school.

Road Repairs Reported- Main Street

The only safe time I could get photos was this evening. I've just got back from taking photos. I've previously requested a road resurface for this stretch of road and it is being considered for next year.

In the meantime tonight I've reported the following ...

Multiple areas of significant failing and crumbling road surface along Main Street:

• Opposite No. 46 Main Street – eroding and failing tarmac.

• Opposite No. 42 Main Street – failed previous pothole repair.

• Opposite the Chapel Street junction on Main Street – failing tarmac road surface around the manhole cover.

• Opposite No. 40 Main Street – pothole over 10cm deep and a previous failed repair.

• Opposite the Trafalgar Square junction on Main Street – approximately 3-metre stretch of failing and crumbling road surface.

• Opposite Alyssa Rose – significant area of sharply failing and crumbling road surface.

Previous requests have been made for this road to be resurfaced. At the very least, as a temporary measure, a large patch needs to be resurfaced down the centre of the road to address these repeated failures rather than carrying out further small individual repairs.

Leopold Street Done! Long Eaton update

One of the roads I was determined to get resurfaced when I was elected last year was Leopold Street...

Initially, all the potholes were filled as a temporary measure while I waited for the full resurfacing to happen.

Leopold Street has now been fully resurfaced. I’ve been down it myself and it looks amazing and more importantly, it feels amazing to drive down it!

I’ve had messages from residents saying how much better the road is, which is great to hear. Granted, I got a LOT more messages when everyone was complaining about the road! Not quite so many now it’s been done, but I know you’re much happier 🙏🏽😊

Next!

Speeding / racing on Fields Farm Road - why check during the day when traffic is slow?

This is just one of many videos I have showing what happens at night. Speeds are greatly in excess of 40mph, and unfortunately Fields Farm Road is being used like a racetrack.

I’m really pleased that the police have been out with their speed cameras. It’s a start, and I welcome it ... But the problem is that they’ve been out during the day. The speeding and racing I’ve been reporting is happening at night, when the road is quieter.

So please, if the police are going to monitor Fields Farm Road, can we also have some enforcement at the times when the problem is actually happening? Long Eaton Police SNT ? ?

Fields Farm Road speeding update

The police have been out on Fields Farm Road with their speed cameras, following the concerns I’ve been raising about speeding in the area.

It’s a start and I’m pleased to see some action being taken.

The only issue I have is that the speeding I’ve been reporting is mainly the racing and excessive speed we’re seeing at night. The police have been out during the day, so it doesn’t really capture the problem I’m being told about by residents.

But, as I said, it’s a start. I’ll keep pushing for the issue to be looked at properly, particularly during the times when the racing is actually happening. Long Eaton Police SNT
