Parish Matters is the place for anything you might see that needs putting right - potholes, missing or damaged road signs, empty or damaged salt bins, missed bin collections, littering / fly tipping, and so on.
If you spot an issue, please check the list first to see if it has already been reported. If it hasn't, please e-mail us, and do please include a photograph or two and ideally a What3Words location.
This page will be updated regularly as new issues are reported and as existing issues are resolved.
