Vehicles Constantly Jumping Red Lights, 3rd April
This ongoing issue with the bridge is beginning to get extremely dangerous, people are constantly jumping the temporary red lights, one person drove round me as I had stopped for a red light and proceeded through the restriction. This is happening more and more often, often at peak times and is an accident waiting to happened, the brow of the bridge obscures the other lights, so vehicles cant see if other vehicles has started to come the other way when the lights are green. Can any thing be done to restrict this issue? Cameras maybe?

Lose manhole, 19th March
Manhole on Mill Road outside 204 Mill Road is lose and wobbles each time a car goes over it creating a lot of noise over 100db. This is particularly problematic when there is an increase in traffic and the noise resemble a train going past at high speed. This issue has been present for the past month or so and it’s new as recently the road has been revamped. I would appreciate you fix this issue as soon as possible.

Dangerously deep pothole on northbound road, 8th March
This pot hole has been on the road for a good two months now, possibly longer as I didn’t make a note when I first saw it. The volume of traffic due to the roadworks makes it worse. Cars have to veer around it which is dangerous (near oncoming vehicles) and the depth of it will cause damage if a car goes through it. Due to the location of it, it’s not possible to get a photo as evidence as you cannot stop anywhere. It’s northbound after the traffic lights where the right hand land goes up Turner Rise and just as the road bends a little to the left. It’s on the right hand ride of the lane. The stretch of this road from the Asda roundabout up to the Mill Roadcrossroads is becoming filled with more potholes so if you can bring more supplies to fix them, could you travel the length and fix them all please? Thank you from all of us with vehicles.

Collection of potholes from around 2/3rds way down entry slipway continuing to end of entry slipway, 14th February
Potholes have formed across entire width of slipway starting from around 2/3rds and continuing to the end of the slipway.
Hitting one or many of the deep holes is now unavoidable when merging onto the A12 from the slipway and is especially dangerous in dark conditions, taking attention away from merging onto the carriageway in attempts to avoid damage to vehicles.
Potholes have been present for a number of months now and have been getting steadily worse with the recent cold and wet weather.
