I have been following-up various issues in and around St. Peter’s ward on behalf of residents:

• Earlier this week I reported traffic collision debris on the road and pedestrian islands at the traffic lights on Wigston Road and Brabazon Road. Some of this debris was sharp and potentially dangerous. The street cleaning team of the Borough Council has tidied this up.
• A large panel of the wooden traffic safety fence at the racecourse roundabout in the central reservation of the A6 has been damaged for several weeks, possibly as a result of a traffic collision. County Councillors Dean Gamble and Jeffrey Kaufman have made the County Council aware of this issue.
• A shrub, possibly on private land, is encroaching on the shared cycle/ footpath on Wigston Road by the bus stop prior to the Washbrook Lane turn. The shrub has completely covered the bus stop sign and halved the width of the path, which is heavily used during school times. Again, County Councillors Dean Gamble and Jeffrey Kaufman have made the County Council aware of this issue.
• Defective street lights on the A6 London Road just outside the ward in Leicester have been reported to the City Council who are aware of them. I have also reported a further flickering street light in the ward, just before the petrol station by the racecourse roundabout, to the County Council.

If you see problems in the ward please contact myself, David Carter or one of your County Councillors via the form on the Harborough, Oadby and Wigston Liberal Democrats site. Alternatively you can report the issue to the relevant council which broadly speaking is:

Street cleaning/graffiti: Oadby and Wigston Borough Council

Highways (street lights, traffic signals etc.): Leicestershire County Council.
