The light has been off for a while and now it’s been switched on it’s lighting the bedroom up at night! Is there a shield you can put there to direct the light elsewhere!!??

Over the last few weeks there have been a number of incidents of dog poo on Daneshill Road and on the path at the end of Daneshill/Stretton, parallel to the dual carriageway section of King Richard’s Road. I don’t know what you can do about it, but it’s unsightly, an obstacle and public health issue. Maybe cleaning the streets and pavements in the area would discourage this antisocial behaviour.-22 Daneshill Road, Leicester, LE3 6AL
