It’s easy to grumble about the pot holes, overhanging branches and – in wet weather – drains that aren’t taking the water away. It’s almost as easy to do something about it.
On the routes I use, I’m trying to improve the situation for all cyclists (and others), by reporting the worst examples of repairs that are needed. It feels really positive when I see a change later!
Within Derby you need to contact the City Council; email streetpride@derby.gov.uk or phone 0333 2006981 (local rates apply) or 01332-293111 (option 1). Outside the city Derbyshire County Council is responsible for roads and the borough/district council for litter.
Working together we should be able to make the roads safer for everyone!
