Has anyone had any luck reporting street faults on websites?
I have told several councils about missing No Entry signs (a potentially lethal fault if ever there was one) but they don't seem to care. Do they even read the messages? Can I get them prosecuted by some national body for ignoring lethal faults which they have been told about? |

Funnily enough, only last week I reported a road problem to Greenwich Council and got a quick response and a follow-up after they did a visit to the site the next day. It wasn't about No Entry signs though. |

I reported a traffic light fault to TFL a couple of years ago. The
lights would only give you a green phase between midnight and 0600 if it detected your prescence. The detector was broken so you had to go through on red. Very carefully obviously and before you ask one night a panda car was behind me. I explained the situation and he said i caould go. When I reported it they fixed it within about a week - not bad. |

Very simple to use and actually seems to be more effective than contacting councils direct through their own websites. |

Out of interest are these missing signs on borough or TfL roads? As I'm sure you know TfL Streets offer a street fault reporting service for all roads in London, the notion being that it can offer a seamless service and thus who controls what shouldn't be a concern to the person on the street with the 'street fault' - but if the council they pass it on to does naff all about it then its usefulness can be limited. I presume it is a Borough road because I get the impression TfL are pretty good at sorting out problems on their own roads. Is it your favourite council for shabby signage, LB Camden? |

My road had one end sealed off a few years ago; did wonders for property value, but nothing for road safety. Instead of a 'no through road' sign, they installed a 'low bridge' sign. We regularly see cars zoom along the road and lurch to a halt when the truth hits them. Before the bollards do. And I'm wondering how many tall vehicles are crashing into a bridge somewhere, expecting a no through road. My neighbor told the council about five years ago ... -- Andrew |
