The Lawrence Hill Roundabout pedestrian underpass is becoming increasingly dirty and litter strewn. People are dropping cans and litter on the grass banks and there is always broken glass on the walkways. Could we please have more regular rubbish clearance here? What do we pay our council tax for!? Maybe a few more litter bins could be installed to encourage people to stop littering. The dirtier it gets the more people will disrespect our environment and the problem will surely worsen. (The photo of the overflowing litter bin was taken at the top of the underpass exit near the Easton Leisure Centre. More regular rubbish collections are obviously needed.)

Last year's harsh winter resulted in multiple potholes on Dove Street/Dove Street S. I reported this months ago. Someone put white paint on the road, to signify that repairs were needed, but nothing has happened. I now face a bill of over £400, to repair my car (broken coil spring). My garage says that this was caused by my driving over a pothole! The stretch of road in front of the dog exercising area is in DREADFUL condition. My car is parked on a mixture of gravel and soil, since the tarmac has washed away.
