Odds and Ends

From the eternal snaglist:

Lighting column repaired on Langworth Avenue
Reported at about 1am and fixed the following morning. Not bad service there from Amey. Failed street lights have also been repaired on Merstowe Close, Warwick Road and Mayfield Road.

Street nameplates for repair
Oakhurst Road and Weates Yard are both on the replacement list, now.

Graffiti cleared from Acocks Green
Our EDL tagger returned. Not standing for that, nor the APL tag that they also use. The paint used etched itself into the lexan screen of the bus stop, so that has had to be replaced. The police are reviewing the CCTV footage.

Litter bin relocated
Acocks Green School requested that the bin fixed to the railings outside the school be relocated closer to the bus stop. This was done once the bus shelter had been replaced and one of the new bins was fitted.

Give way sign repaired
This was reported through Twitter and has been repaired.

Bollards to be repaired
Station Road/Dudley Park Road/Sherborne Road - these have suffered repeat damage and one light is to be repaired and one bollard reattached to the base.

Guardrail repairs
The damage to the guard rail on the roundabout at the junction of Shirley Road and Olton Boulevard East is scheduled to be repaired - it looks like a car has gone straight into it.

Flyposting cleared
I had my tree loppers out and removed some illegally fixed signs along roads in the ward - the signs have been passed to our Environmental Health Officer so that the company involved can be reminded of the rules. A taxi firm attached a banner to railings in the Green - that's now been removed. If people want to sponsor the roundabout, we can talk! That cab firm are not in my good books after they splattered every piece of highway furniture with stickers.

Problems with logo collar on poles
A couple of the collars with the embossed fox logo that go around some of the new street furniture - particularly the finger sign post and the plant hanger - have sheared. The manufacturers have been called back to fix the problem.

Severn Trent access covers damaged
Spotted a couple of the pavement stop tap access covers that were damaged or missing - Severn Trent have now replaced them on The Avenye and Victoria Road.
