Taking a break...

FixMyStreet is going offline shortly, probably permanently. The software is old and needs a complete rewrite, the site is being bombarded by spammers, and it is debatable whether councils are receiving and/or acting on FixMyStreet reports.

As of now, it is not possible to post new issues, or updates to published issues.

Electric Light Traffic Hazzard

The location of the electric light pole at the Patterson Street and the high traffic density Given Road intersection is the cause of my vehicle accidents. The left Patterson traffic lane on Girven road is too narrow for larger vans and trucks and there is insufficient space to pass on the inside lane without mounting the curb and then hitting the light pole. Patterson Street left turning traffic on Girven road often stops the traffic and creates a back up of cars and often rear end collusions occur. The pole was hit by a car last week and has been removed. The best option is to remove the pole completely. If the pole for some reason has to be reinstalled would you kindly ensure firstly it does not obstruct access to the properties at 86 Girven road and the Bay Palm Motel access, and secondly where it is not a hazard or danger to the high density road traffic on Girven road. Thank you. Appreciate a discussion please with the owners of property at 86 Girven road and the Bay Palm Motels at 84 Girven Road.
