FIXMYSTREET IN DH4 6ET
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of DH4 6ET:
Huge amounts of litter and debris, 26th February
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.

Potholes on A1 northbound, 3rd November
There are 3 or 4 potholes forming in the area I've marked on the map (A1 northbound carriage, left hand side of the left hand lane) My car bumped over all of them around 1 second apart today, and has done a few times in the last couple of months.

Grass has been cut in the central reservation but no litter picked for over 10 months., 28th June
No litter has been picked down the central reservation along the A1 here, however as it hasn't been litter picked for nearly a year, the central reservation is now strewn with shards of litter, plastic, cones etc.
A lot of it was blowing around the highway the morning after they had done it.
Grass is cut twice a year and litter picked 4 times a year according to conversations I have had with you - however since this stretch has not been done since last July, having cut the grass it now looks awful. I am assuming you'll be doing three litter picks in the next 4 weeks into July to make up the 3 you have missed? Please confirm when you'll be litter picking as all of this is causing a hazard plus polluting the watercourses.

Coming around the corner you are confronted by dip in the road - safety issue, 5th June
As you come around the corner heading towards Fence Houses there is a significant area in the road where the road surface is uneven in approximately three/four places. Not exactly a pot hole just uneven surface due to previous road repairs, causing cars to either brake suddenly or bump up and down

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

Litter and debris all along the A1 from C-L-S to Durham, 1st September
The grass has been cut but no litter picked. I don't know why they don't happen at the same time tbh. Seems obvious to do? Grass cut, litter is worse than I've see it for months! When is it being picked? All way between Washington services and DUrham on both sides.

Step in road north bound due to subsided repair of a trench, 2nd December
Excavation in northbound side of road on bend ends at a valve chamber, repair to excavation has subsided which causes a 50mm step up to original surface. Possibly since the recent gas pipe works in the area?
