Asbestos dumped, 24th April

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 11:29:49 +0100
53.975852 -2.775429

Whilst in the field next to the M6 I discovered that a full lorry load of asbestos roofing material had been tipped down the banking. it is about half way up the banking. I noticed this off my tractor in the field and the rubbish cannot be seen from the M6 unless seen by someone walking on the hard shoulder. Obviously the tipper did not want his work to be found. This needs urgent attention as it will pollute the water course close by

Advertised for months that the works at M6 jct33-32 would be until November 22, this is December and the road is still being closed at night. Usual tall tales from the National Highways.

Poor Planning, 12th September

Mon, 12 Sep 2022 11:55:07 +0100
53.979651 -2.778798

Please refrain from the full M6 weekend closures; this has caused absolute chaos on the A6 southbound all weekend. Surely this work can be planned so that it is only overnight closures. Reports of people taking over 12 hours to complete this journey is absolutely scandalous and this should be rethought. We have four more alleged planned closures and this is making life absolute hell for local residents such as myself who literally are stuck all weekend.

Closure of M6 southbound junction 33 to 32., 12th September

Mon, 12 Sep 2022 10:44:33 +0100
53.974277 -2.7719

I live in Garstang and use the A6 to get to Preston or the M6 at junction 32. The knock on effect of the M6 closure means a huge volume of traffic on the A6 for 8 miles. Whilst this is frustrating for motorway users it is also extremely frustrating for local people who for 4 weekends feel they are unable to get out of town due to the huge volume of traffic and the knock on effect of time to get to your destination. Could work not be carried out overnight to minimise disruption?

Compete Chaos, 12th September

53.977897 -2.776974

Please, please put something in place to allow traffic to flow southbound on the M6, possibly a contraflow to ease the situation on the M6. This weekend’s roadworks between junctions 32 and 33 on the M6 has put many people and animals in danger with ambulances being called out and tailbacks taking over 10 hours to clear. This is unconscionable and has to be rethought.

Lack of suitable planning for volume of traffic on roads. Hours of traffic caused by full closure of M6 southbound. This is set to happen the next few weekends. A better system needs putting in place to keep one lane or contra flow lane

Road congestion south bound M6 J33 to J32, 11th September

Sun, 11 Sep 2022 18:56:09 +0100
53.980113 -2.779555

The full closure of the southbound carriageway on the M6 this weekend has caused dangerous volumes of different types of traffic on trunk roads and minor roads as people struggle to get to places while the M6 is shut. The small villages that lie on the A6 and the surrounding roads simply cannot cope with the heavy and diverse vehicles (today I followed a 40 footer truck slowly winding along the lanes), some being so large they hardly fit the lanes they are driving onto, this additional volume of traffic is causing near misses with vehicles and cyclists alike, for which this area is very known for the cyclist community. Traffic is travelling along the A6 causing long delays, also, traffic is now travelling within the trough of bowland where the lanes are not fit for purpose of large vehicles. The speed that some of these are travelling at is very excessive, and I am surprised a cyclist hasn't been killed, some vehicles still believe they are on the motorway doing silly speeds and being stupid. Why was a contra-flow system is not put in place on the motorway or even consider nighttime only closures is beyond me and our local community.

The full closure of the m6 jct 33 to jct 32 is absolutely ridiculous the traffic is so bad on the surrounding roads because of the full closure its becoming dangerous as there has been quite few incidents involving arguments and emergency services are having trouble getting through the traffic that has been caused by the full closure of the m6

Galgate closure, 11th September

Sun, 11 Sep 2022 16:11:04 +0100
53.978312 -2.77737

I’m a resident of Lancaster and this weekend traffic has been awful it took me 2 hours to travel 3 miles in none moving traffic caused by the weekend closure of the motorway. I believe this is going to have a detrimental impact on business in Lancaster and it also causes issues with emergency services and care services working in the community, we only have a 10 minute travelling time between clients and clients who are on time critical medication. I understand there can be a number of reasons that traffic can occur but to fine that this is going to be until the end of September really does affect peoples lives who are relying on ourselves as care workers to be there at certain times to give life saving medication.
