There seems to have been further amendments dated 19th Dec on this, it's hard to keep up with what's happening here and obviously submitting this over Christmas is not helpful to anyone but the developers . This still looks like many of the original problems suggested by the locals haven't been addressed. Anyone with insight into the main changes? still seems an overdevelopment of the site.

Arran and helper Richard cleared a large amount of garden material/soil and rubble/wood etc for me, continued working even through the heavy rain. Friendly service and turned up on time, fair quote given size of job. Recommended.

Has anybody successfully collected their own post from Highshore Road? just wondering if it's worth a trip to collect missing bank letters or whether everything is still unsorted in the large trolleys.

Is it correct that the HIghshore Road debacle is only affecting deliveries and collections are seperate? If not, I was wondering if I wanted to bypass the local chaos to post 20 cards what would be the most sensible solution, whats the nearest posting spot one could get to that is (touchwood) trouble free?

Noticed today the Zebra crossing in question has been repainted which hopefully reduces the risk , thanks to everybody who helped with this.

Thanks to all the posters in this thread for the info, and thanks to James McAsh for the speedy response to my email , Highways have now said "the maintenance team will address it" so at least it's been highlighted.

I live near this crossing so granted I see a few more of the vehicle sudden stops but it has always been in a place where vehicles have built up speed in both directions. Recently one of the belisha beacons has become hidden by tree growth and the other in one direction seems to be partially obscured by the new double no through road sign (chat on the other thread for the reason it is there pls!) As the crossing painting is pretty worn out it does seem potentially a bit of a risk, now with the school nearby and the amount of kids around. I?m not sure if crossings are part of a regular maintenance schedule but where might be a good place to flag this with the council? or is it someone elses authority?

Looks like the old William Hill on Grove Vale near the station is going to be a Pret, there's a sign up they are hiring.
