Looking run down!


Look what I found on the corner of First Avenue and Somerville Road this book in it's dilapidated state is causing a real health and safety concern. The loose cover is inviting thieves to the area, as scrap metal is currently being sold at a premium. Moreover the existing states reduces local morale by making the area feel more run down.
I have reported the damaged box to the Streetscene Team and am sure the matter will be resolved. The conservatives have chosen to provide a list of telephone number for residents to call and report these items, the Liberals choose to provide internet communication details. Only the greens are reporting these matters with any consistency and frequency!

  1. You might get a faster response by reporting the damaged cabinet to Virgin Media.

    When doing so, quote the cabinet number - R (for Redbridge) followed by four numbers. This positively identifies the cabinet and its location to them.

    The number is at the top left - you can just make out the 'R' in your picture but the number is concealed beneath the sticky tape.

  2. Hi Knowsie,

    Russell Ward from the Streetscene Team is in direct contact with Virgin Media and is subsidised to undertake some of the work for them. For instance all the graffiti paint over is undertaken by them. This repair may well be undertaken by his team if not he would convey the issues direct to virgin. I always get a personal response back with times for completion of work. If residenst want to contact Virgin Direct they can do so. Alternatively, I am happy to continue acting as a conduit. One way or the other I will keep reporting items such as these when picked up on my regular audits.
