Flood water drainage, 7th December
I live at DT6 6DW. My cottage is below the A35 and had water ingress during heavy rain on Monday 4 Dec. I had a visit (on Tues 5 Dec) from Alice Livesey (whose boss is Claire Dean, based in Honiton). Alice acknowledged that there are ongoing drainage issues with the A35 in Morcombelake. Please update me on what actions you are taking, and let me have a Reference Number and Email address for contact purposes. Thank you

Unsafe road for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers due to extensive potholes exceeding 10” in depth., 14th April
This appalling state of the road has been in need of a major repair to a standard that is classed fit -not a bodge job. The road is permanently flooded which disguises the many potholes !! The road condition has been reported many times by many people for the minimum of 5 + months. Totally unacceptable.

Several Potholes Eastbound, 2nd January
There are several potholes Eastbound A35 on the bends climbing up to Morecombelake.
I lost count how many potholes I either hit or narrowly avoided in both directions on the A35 in the dark last night. I suggest you send one of those camera road surface survey vehicles from Honiton to Dorchester in both directions. Other people are reporting damage to their vehicles on this stretch of the A35.

Unattended roadworks and contra-flow signals, 24th August
I had the misfortune to travel east on the A35 on Monday afternoon 220822. Our journey should have taken around 60 mins, or possibly a little more given the presence of holiday traffic. Instead, because of an obstruction, it took over 90 mins because we were crawling from the roundabout at the western end of the Charmouth By-Pass some 2.5 miles ahead of the obstruction. This is wholly unacceptable. Further more, I have been told that the roadworks were still there the following day.
This is doubly unacceptable because the delay was not caused by an accident or other such incident. Instead the cause turned out to be a short stretch of one-way working a short distance west of Morcombelake, west of the Artwave art gallery.
This was the primary cause, but it was clear also that the traffic signals were set poorly, giving much more green time for traffic travelling towards Honiton than for that going towards Bridport. Thus our passage through the lights on our return journey at about 5:15pm was much swifter, and our return journey took only 55 mins overall as a result.
What added insult to injury though was that there was no-one working at the site of the obstruction, and this at around 2:30pm on a weekday afternoon, which was when we first encountered it. That smacks of dereliction of duty.
And this during the peak month of August. It used to be sacrosanct that roadworks were removed during the peak holiday periods. Surely that requirement has not been relaxed? I shudder to think about the value of all that time wasted by those stuck in this queue, many of whom were commercial in nature.
I trust you will take action to remove this obstruction as soon as you can.

A40 minute delay in both directions for NOTHING, 22nd August
This set of roadworks with one lane closed and traffic lights held up both sides for 40 minutes today, for nobody to be working there and what looks like a very small hole. Surely night working would be better? Think of the emissions foe everybody backed up needlessly!
