Road Markings Unclear and Dangerous, 28th November
As you come off the A14 at Junction 40 Westbound you have two lanes with arrows pointing either left to Barrow or right to Tuddenham, however there is a road which leads to Higham village and businesses almost directly opposite the right hand lane. I work for one of these businesses and one more than one occasion have witnessed or been involved in a potential accident because there are no markings to indicate which lane to use to cross. The issue has been present since the roads were last marked.

Debris and dirt on side of bridge, 16th August
The dirt and debris has been accumulated on the side of this narrow 2 lane bridge. Plants have started growing out of it, which causes cars from the closest lane to veer into the oncoming lane. The bridge is just past a blind curve and it very dangerous. I have been in and seen many near misses. It's only a matter of time before there is a major accident. The debris and dirt just need to be cleared away.

Water running down road., 7th December
A large volume of water is running down the west side of Coalpit Lane as far as the railway line. This consistently happens after heavy rain and presumably is caused by a blocked ditch or drain. The volume is enough to force cars into oncoming traffic and when icy it freezes to make the road treacherous.

Give way signs not clear, 9th January
Multiple cars have overshot the give way and ended up in the field opposite. The Give Way sign at the top of the slip road seems to be insufficient or too small and/or chevrons need to be placed opposite. The latest incident was today. The last 6 weeks, 5 cars have ended up in the field.

Lack of road markings, 13th February
Now that Barrow village is so large this road from the A11 is so busy and it is hazardous especially when dark and I feel that the provision of cats' eyes would be beneficial. Traffic speeds along the route often using full beam which makes travelling in opposite direction a nightmare.
