There is rubbish strewn along the verges of the A35 from Monkeys Jump roundabout to Winterbourne Abbas. This has clearly come off the back off and unsecured load of a refuse truck. It is a blight on our once beautiful Dorset countryside.

50.712143 -2.484251

Unsafe road surface now east and west bound, numerous pot holes. Any attempt to fix is also failing and being thrown into moving traffic and causing damage to vehicles and property. Would suggest a speed restriction if this is not going to be fixed.

Large area of standing water collecting, cannot be seen in the dark, making it dangerous even if driving at speeds less than 60. There has been a drain issue here for well over a year which adds to the problem. I have seen that you are aware of the drain issue yet you still haven’t fixed it. Please do so before someone has a serious accident

Motorists are pulling into the layby on the A35 (westbound) just past monkeys jump roundabout to enable them to cross back over onto the A35 east bound carriageway to get back to the roundabout because they have missed their turning. Other motorists heading either west bound or east bound are not expecting them to do this maneuver. It is quite un unnerving to see this happen Is it possible to advise motorists against doing this Also what is slightly more unnerving is when motorists pull onto the graveled area before the layby and tun back towards the roundabout as other motorists ate picking up speed as the exit the roundabout Thank you

Lane closure causing unacceptable delays, 31st October

Sun, 31 Oct 2021 11:23:03 +0000
50.712159 -2.486303

It was mid afternoon on Saturday 30 October. I was heading east towards Dorchester on the A35. A short section of road was reduced to one lane under traffic light control. There was heavy traffic from the west as people returned after the half term holiday. There was a delay of 20-25 minutes. There was minimal traffic in the other direction and no delays. On our side only about 15 cars got through before the lights changed. No one was working on the road and the carriageways were intact. This was a totally unnecessary closure at an inconvenient time. Also even if closure of the road was necessary the phasing of the lights was completely wrong.
