This was the most common result within the community survey. This can include parking issues, which is a major issue specifically within the Benn Ward area of Rugby. This has been a constant theme from local councillors, and we are currently working with the council on how to address this issue in the Benn Ward area.
We have also had reports of anti-social driving along the Leicester road, which we are looking at targeting, and I have requested training for the whole team on handheld speed guns to assist with this.
