Huge amounts of litter and debris, 26th February

54.853187 -1.53897

The A1 is the most squalid I think I have ever seen it! This is on your litter strategy; 'A network predominantly free from litter, without compromising safety and delivered affordably' Can you tell me how you are delivering a network predominantly free from litter when you don't clear it up anymore??? With regards to safety; you litter pick the A19 with zero hard shoulder and individuals from traffic management vehicles, but you can't do the same on the A1? Why do it so differently there but get such great results - yet the A1 is thick with dumped waste, thrown waste from cars and tons of stuff off the back of vans and trucks. You are also running a campaign about the impact on wildlife - but that is not going to pick up the litter is it? So the impact of the neglect from highways must be greater! What date is the A1 north and south being picked around here? Washington services is disgusting, never seen the road so bad after the slip lane leaving the services - that you are responsible for.

New footpath laid- Quad bikes and off road bikes using, 30th April

Sun, 30 Apr 2023 16:40:13 +0100
54.878517 -1.517233

Each weekend, Sundays are worse, there are a number of Quad bikes and illegal motorcycles who ride down Station Road turn into West Bridge Street and drive at speed along the public bridleway towards Penshaw/Shiney Row. Sometimes 3/4 together. They ride around the bollards onto the paths. Part of the path has been resurfaced, it will be churned up in no time unless more bollards or preventative measures are put in place. They are a nuisance and annoyance to residents and legitimate users of the paths.

Dead/injured domestic cat on hard shoulder, 30th January

Mon, 30 Jan 2023 09:44:15 +0000
54.856583 -1.549631

Hello, I drove between Jnct 62 Durham and Jnct 63 Chester-le-Street northbound about an hour ago (8.30am 30.1.23) and there was an injured/deceased black domestic cat on the hard shoulder which had either been hit by a car or thrown from car window. Unfortunately I spotted it too late to be able to stop safely. The local police and RSPCA were not able to assist at this time. Would it be possible for an inspector to check that area if they are in the vicinity as the cat may have a microchip. I can't be sure of the exact location but it was more towards the Chester-le-Street junction, and I think somewhere just along from the field of Herdwick sheep! Many thanks.
