Families across Braunstone Park and Rowley Fields are telling us the same thing:
They are paying more in council tax while basic neighbourhood standards continue slipping.
Residents are reporting:
- worsening potholes
- faded road markings
- litter and fly-tipping
- neglected streets
- concerns about local children’s services
People want cleaner streets, safer roads and neighbourhoods they can feel proud of again.
WHAT RESIDENTS ARE TELLING US
“The roads are getting worse but nothing gets fixed properly.”
“Fly-tipping is becoming more common across the area.”
“Families deserve better than streets that feel neglected.”
“Basic services should come before vanity projects.”
LOCAL ISSUES RESIDENTS HAVE RAISED
Adventure playground funding cut by over 50%
After 55 years serving local children, the adventure playground has had its funding cut by more than 50%.
Residents are worried about reduced opening hours and the future of local children’s services.
Potholes are getting worse across local roads
Residents say potholes and damaged road surfaces are becoming harder to avoid and repairs are not lasting.
People expect safer roads and better maintenance for the council tax they pay.
Faded road markings are becoming a safety concern
Residents have raised concerns about worn road markings across parts of the area, particularly near junctions and crossings.
Drivers and pedestrians should not have to deal with unsafe or unclear markings.
Litter and fly-tipping are making streets feel neglected
Fly-tipping and rubbish left on streets and public spaces are making parts of the area feel uncared for.
Residents want cleaner neighbourhoods and faster action on repeat problem areas.
