Some weeks after we reported this dangerous pavement defect in Long Wyre Street, we've been told by @essexhighways that they've now 'made it safe'.
We're keenly looking forward to full and proper reinstatement.

We're pleased to see that the bent post and traffic sign in St John's Street by the entrance to the Vineyard Street car park has now been replaced after we reported it to #EssexHighways.
This isn't the first bit of street furniture to be damaged here...

A long abandoned #LoneCone and a couple of black bags that had been lingering for a few weeks on Cowdray Avenue, were swiftly removed after we reported them online to the City Centre Neighbourhood Team @yourcolchester.
Thanks guys...

The sign and bollard at the bottom of St John's St., by the entrance to Vineyard Street car park are often damaged and 'bent'
The latest bent post has now been sorted after we reported it.
Unfortunately the scandalously failing 'new' road surface hasn't

A big thank you to the Greening Team at #Colchester City Council who've done a brilliant job in tidying up the out of control weed growth in the council owned Osborne Street Car park after we flagged it as an issue.

#SeenReportedSorted. We're pleased to see that a deep #pothole/#sinkhole that appeared in North Station Road closed to the Essex Hall roundabout a couple of weeks ago has now been repaired after we reported it to #EssexHighways.

The weeds that were making it almost impossible to use the cycle racks in the Vineyard Street car park have now been cut back after we reported and escalated the problem with the city council.
What a difference!

It's good to see that this somewhat bent guardrail at the North Station Roundabout has been sorted after we reported it to the team at #EssexHighways.
There are still other bent barriers there that haven't been sorted yet but this was the worst.

The Priory Street Car Park had long needed a TLC. Multiple fence rails were broken or missing and there was uncontrolled weed growth. We reported - and then escalated - it with the city council - who sorted it.
Great job - thanks folks.👍

It's taken a long, long time but the #YellowMat that's been adorning the pavement in Crouch Street here in #Colchester, #BritainsFirstCity for quite a few years, has now, at last, gone.

We'd like to say a big thank you to the folk @EssexHighways.
The long, long, missing rail from the barrier on East Hill obviously wasn't the biggest of issue in #Colchester let alone #Essex.
But hey. It's now sorted...

We reported this seriously bent parking sign in Rosebery Avenue to the North Essex Parking Parternership (NEPP).
We're delighted that it's no longer bent and has been repositioned to reduce the likelihood of another vehicle strike.

We're not sure why someone would dump a large LCD TV on a City Centre Pavement but it takes all sorts we suppose....
We reported this one outside the Globe Hotel on North Station Road and it's now sorted.
It's called #CivicPride.
More of it is needed...

OK this wasn't the worst ever bit of graffiti to blight #Colchester but there's now one less bit after we reported this 'tagged' door in Causton Road to the City Council. The City Centre Neighbourhood Team had it sorted in the blink of an eye...

For some years now there's been a steel lamppost outside 9 North Hill that was noticeably leaning backwards.
It's taken a long, long time, but we're delighted that @EssexHighways have now sorted it and the post is now vertical.

It didn't take long before they told us they'd fixed it.

#SeenReportedSorted - eventually...
Its taken a long time, more than one attempt and multiple representations to @EssexHighways by lots of folk not just us, to get the pavement repaired where Wedgewood Drive joins Mile End Road.

We've recently reported three phone boxes to BT which had missing glass - the grade ll listed red box at East Bay and two more modern ones on Headgate and the forecourt of North Station.

A quite large bit of graffiti appeared a few days ago on the front of the former #Odeon in Crouch St. We reported it online to the folk @yourcolchester and it's now been painted out.
