    • Speed Cameras, 22nd July
      Why does every other street in the UK seem to have a speed camera except this one, which is haunted by people who seem to assume its and extension of a motorway, a biker drag race strip, or anything but a quite residential street with a 30 limit. The occasional token police presence is not enough, take a camera off a dual carriageway and put it here before someone is killed.

      This road remains in very poor repair despite being extremely busy, I can't state a specific spot because it's all terrible, even the potholes from the winter still only have forlorn whoie marks around them, no-one has actually done anything to fix them. People have taken to weaving about to avoid the worst ones.

    • The State of Pinehurst Road, 30th June
      I am complaining about the state of Pinehurst Road, West Moors. This is a very busy road, and a 'rat-run' for vehicles travelling to and from the A31 and Verwood, not to mention frequent use by the emergency services, school traffic and several bus routes. The road has been dug up many times in recent years including the laying of a major gas pipeline, and new services to local properties. I have lived here for over 20 years and during that time, it has never been resurfaced. After the damage caused by the last bad winter, all they did was to patch up the holes. My wife has a medical condition which makes it uncomfortable to be driven over such a rough road surface. This 'skinflint' approach by the county council (I presume) is all the more annoying in view of the proposed upgrading of Springfield Road in Verwood, at great cost and against the wishes of the local residents, who have set up an Action group to fight it. If money is available, spend it on resurfacing Pinehurst Road!
      Report on FixMyStreet
    • Works sign., 30th June
      Why is this sign here for the past three weeks with no sign of work at all being done. I believe it is placed there by a resident so as they can exit their property which has a blind exit allowed by Christchurch council as an exit without consideration to the difficulty of exiting the new properties build behind the roadside properties. Surely this is illegal?
