All fall down in St Swithins Avenue
A lady in St Swithins Avenue told Focus that the the road surface is getting so uneven that she is scared of having a fall, which could be dangerous at her age. She has written to the Council three times. The Bridport FOCUS Team has taken this up with the County Council and sent photos to show just how bad the problem is. We will let you know what they say.
Rubbish at Orchard Avenue
An Orchard Avenue resident asks “Why don’t the dustmen pick up the rubbish on the floor where the seagulls have split the bags open? Aren’t they allowed to? We need Wheelie Bins really”. What do you think about Wheelie Bins?
Puddles at South Street and West Street Bridge
The recent monsoons have brought grumbles from pedestrians splashed by motorists speeding through huge puddles where the road has sunk. South Street near Jewsons is one of the worst. And West Street Bridge is another. Here the pavement is so narrow that there is nowhere to escape. A lady writes “I am quite fit, so I can jump out of the way, but elderly people and buggy-pushing parents get soaked. Motorists please be more considerate and more aware”. Cllr Maggie Ray has reported sunken roads.
Market car park with the Bees
LIB DEM FOCUS SURVEY show that, even when car parks are full at 11am Saturday and Wednesday market days, the Football Club Carpark is still half empty. Not many people know about it. A local shopkeeper suggests “Why don’t you do a poster for shops saying “Support your local football club and get the cheapest carparking in Bridport ” 50p ALL DAY (Half the takings go to the Bees)” Lets call it “The Market Car Park” Said Lib Dem Cllr Gill Fifield at the car park meeting Fri 23 June at the United Reform Church. The District Council agreed to get the new signs as soon as possible. ANY MORE GOOD IDEAS? Contact the Bridport FOCUS team.
