@BasingstokeGov For over 24 hours now, there has been a constant loud vibration/humming/ringing noise that hasn’t stopped. It seems to be getting louder, and we believe it’s coming from machinery at Basingstoke STW. it’s a nuisance and disturbing residence. Can’t open windows!

@BasingstokeGov Hi, I reported a fence that has been knocked over in February, logged a case 599173, however when I ask for an update I get the same response, we told the team on 13th February, still the fence remains knocked over. Any chance of a chase please?

We know most dog owners are responsible but for those who aren’t, a borough-wide public spaces protection order is in place making it an offence not to clear up after a dog in a public place and not to produce a means to clear up (e.g poo bags) when asked by an authorised officer

Our community safety patrol officers are carrying out out early morning patrols in dog fouling hotspots to talk to dog owners and walkers about the importance of picking up after their dogs and checking that people have poo bags with them.
