FIXMYSTREET IN EX2 7JW
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of EX2 7JW:
Worrying road noise from traffic on M5 over this bridge junction 30, 21st April
When you wait at traffic lights underneath the M5 junction 30 heading towards Sandy Park and there is significant traffic on the M5 above there is a lot of noise - a clattery noise as traffic drives over something loose or uneven- maybe a man hole (surely not on a motorway?). (50.7118824, -3.4640557)Or perhaps there is a join in the bridge here. Anyway it’s been like this a long time but I’ve been reading a book on civil engineering accidents and was prompted to ask you to go and listen during rush hour when you’re nearby. The noise must be made by force and repetitive force can damage things I suppose.

White lines unclear, as many drivers are confused where to position their cars as they leave the slip road and enter the roundabout, 31st October
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am writing to report an everyday confusion that I see for the past year as I commute from Taunton to Exeter.
As you exit M5 on Southbound side and about to enter the Sandygate Roundabout (in order to head to either the 2nd, 3rd or 4th exit, drivers on the 4th lane on the slip road (right-hand lane) struggle to position their cars and always get into the 3rd lane as they leave the slip road and enter the roundabout.
This happens during summer even when it's still bright outside. It could possibly due to the white lines overlapping each other. It is now worse as it gets dark early and starts to rain more.

Dirty Paths and Standing Water, 10th March
Huge puddles just past the Rugby Club opposite Retreat Road near the crossing. And in front of the Bus Stop past Ashford Road going to Exeter. Both problems have been repotted by Mr Leadbetter MP and Simon Jupp MP but to know avail. The one by the bus stop means that people standing there waiting for a bus get soaked. The Paths in Exeter Road and most of Topsham have not been swept and cleaned since before the pandemic

Caravan blocking spaces for residents, 10th October
Caravan parked in same place for over 2 months (since mid August 2022) now taking up 2-3 residential parking spaces as parked so inconsiderately. Having asked neighbours along this part of road no one here owns it & this person is hogging spaces desperately needed by residents. We have a new baby & struggled to park anywhere near our house since this caravan arrived. The top end of this road is the busiest part of the street & other neighbours here are frustrated this caravan is sat there for months taking up our much needed spaces.
