Traffic, 12th April
There are two separate works going on here. One rebuilding of a wall cones are put out and down to one lane heading to maidstone and then Coldharbour roundabout again cones out single lane works which again down to one lane. On my lunch hour it took me 45 mins to pass through this area. How are both works allowed to go ahead at the same time. I even tried going on the motorway the following day and the slip road and that roundabout was also congested taking 40 mins to get off.

Tyre and large gas cannister on footpath next to the Medway, 7th February
I have pulled a tyre out of the River Medway today and put this with a large gas cannister pulled out by someone else. This is next to the litter bin on opposite side of river to Asda Living on the footpath / grass area.
I thought it had been reported on 30th Jan but app states not reported to the council so adding a new report.

Street lighting not working, 1st February
A large amount of the lights have failed between J5 and J7
There is also no signage to drivers to inform the lighting isn't working, which would be useful due to how complex in particular this part of the motorway is.

Street Light Not Worked since installation 5 years ago, 17th January
The street light number JKBK03 has not worked since it was installed 5 years ago. I reported it January 2023 and it was acknowledged that it didn't work. Roll on yet another year and it still has not been fixed. Travelling south on Hermitage Lane the lamppost was installed at a new road junction at a point were the road narrow. Lack of a working light is an potential accident risk.

Large pothole around manhole cover, 15th January

Leftover equipment, 8th January
The absolute audacity of you placing a sign telling road users not to litter when right next to this is mess left by your workers! You create so much litter everywhere and are a major part of the littering problem in this country. The images attached are going to be forwarded onto the local media.
The amount of disused road traffic equipment that you leave when your works have finished is awful.

Large amount of surface water gathering., 4th January
Whilst driving from Jct 5 to Jct 6 on the M20, a large amount of surface water is gathering which was causing road users to break heavily. This also presents a risk to other Road users with regards to unpredictable driving behaviour, and possibility of aquaplaning. Looking at a previous report, the lack of lighting in this area also leads to road users not being able to see the surface water until they are within the immediate vicinity.
Please could I suggest better drainage system, the light to be reviewed and assessed, and for the speed restrictions to be reviewed and implemented when weather conditions change.
Kind regards,

All the lights have been off between J5 & J6 for months, 16th December
There is a report from 5th September 2023 about this issue. Does it take over 3 months to fix the lights, or have they been turned off to save the cost of electricity? This is particularly dangerous in the Winter months and especially during the evening rush hour. There are often long queues coast bound and drivers crossing lanes to avoid or jump the queue. Working lights would make the journey so much safer.

Very dark - lack of lighting, 5th September
This stretch of the M20 is extremely dark with no lighting. It strikes me as unsafe, particularly given the lack of hard shoulder on this "smart" section of the motorway. Are steps being taken to improve visibility and safety on this stretch of the motorway at night, or restore lighting?
