Exit slip road poorly lit, 30th April
A couple of years ago Watchorn roundabout had three of the four slip roads for the A38 upgraded with good LED lighting and improved reflective studs. However when travelling south on the A38 the off sliproad onto Watchorn roundabout never had the new lights fitted and it remains poorly lit, which is a hazard as it's difficult to see the sliproad clearly. I can only presume that whover was in charge of the upgrade thought not to light it because of the nearby hotel or they ran out of money? Can this sliproad have new lighting and also have the reflective studs replaced as a lot don't work now. Thanks

2 metre pothole on decent of King street A61, 7th April
Been here for 5+ months and unavoidable if on a bicycle other than slowing right down which is dangerous due to narrow major trunk road to A38 and M1 motorway and the amount of traffic this road carries on a daily basis I am sure many cars are damaged by this missing tarmac!

Faded road markings, 11th June
On the A38 slip road at the Alfreton Watchorn exit, the road markings have faded. Drivers are making inconsistent lane choices to turn left into Alfreton .Many drivers choose the left lane as they are turning left off the roundabout. However, many drivers use the right lane to turn left - this is because soon after turning left there is another junction with two lanes: a choice of turn left or straight on. Better road markings and signage would help to prevent an accident waiting to happen. I use this junction most days and frequently see inconsistent lane choices. If a driver in the left lane were to go straight on (usually OK at roundabouts) at the same time as a driver in the right lane turned left (because they are going straight on at the next junction) there would be a collision.

Road markings A38 Off Slip Eastbound From A38 To A61 Der, Alfreton, 20th February
The road markings at this exit are non existent - drivers are pulling up to come off - the drivers in the nearside lane should have priority over the other two lanes at this exit - however lane 2 at this exit are also turning left and taking the second lane up towards A61 King Street causing accidents and near misses. Recommendations are arrows to be painted on the exit of A38 with near side lane priority left and the second lane straight on or right turn only.

A38/DE55 7PB Issue that looks to be signed off but is not resolved. REDONE AS UPDATES DO NOTHING., 12th November
Same problem 2/3 years ago which was sorted but unfortunately it's the same again. Very loud clattering noise every time traffic goes over it. Sound like something metal which is loose. I live nearby and during the night it is very, very loud.
UPDATES Thank you for your report concerning manhole cover. Inspector is in the area tomorrow 06/10 and will attend to this for you.
Kind regards

Hi, It's now five weeks later and the problem persists. It is now really bad, twice as Loud as before. The noise every time a vehicle goes over it, is immense. I wouldn't be surprised also now that it could possible cause a serious accident

When is this going to be fixed? The noise is unbearable!
