Blocked road drain, 19th March

Tue, 19 Mar 2024 14:29:48 +0000
52.715302 -2.11244

Outside and opposite the entrance to “The Lodge” on Boscomore Lane Penkridge there is a blocked road drain causing flooding to gardens when it rains - this need the drain machine to clean out the drain so there is drainage for the water rather than causing danger to road users and pedestrians - and to prevent any re occurrence of flooded gardens

Damaged roundabout signs and dangerous layout, 4th March

Mon, 04 Mar 2024 13:02:47 +0000
52.732365 -2.111927

We have had multiple crashes in the last few months on this roundabout where cars have crashed into the roundabout and damaged all the signs and grass. It is obviously a dangerous roundabout that is not well lit at night and people ignore the reduction of speed from 60 to 30, there is no speed camera which may help or speed humps to enforce a reduction in speed. Due to the lack of speed camera or enforcement until after leaving Penkridge I have seen speeding 40+ in a 30 throughout the day. If this is not the correct place to report this can you please let me know. Thanks

The elastic on our trailer tent snapped and a sleeping bag dislodged from the load. The sleeping bag bounced into the verge. It’s purple. The car behind us was on convoy with us so saw where it went. We pulled off the motorway at Calf Heath to resecure the load.

Nobody’s answered the phone after 5 minutes so I have no alternative but to log here. Large piece of metal debris on m6 north 12-13. Adjacent to central reservation. If someone swerves it will cause a catastrophic accident. There are also large tyres on the same stretch in the central reservation area and also between 13-14 north.

0440 matrix signs on no reason,nearly a multiple pile up due to lanes shut,speed restriction and everyone slamming on,please turn them off when whatever the reason there was has gone,I can’t believe nobody sees the problem your causing in your control room. It seems to be a regular occurrence throughout the country but as usual nobody’s accountable.The system doesn’t work and it’s dangerous but nobody listens.

52.730907 -2.098402

For a number of years we have tried to contact Highways to inform them of this fissure in the concrete wall of the bridge on Woodbank Lane, a large area towards the top of the left hand side of west facing end of the bridge has crumbled leaving a fissure which now gathers water and the wall itself is starting to bulge I imagine from the rusting of the reinforced metal rods.

Why is there a 60 restriction on M6 J13 for a few miles both ways. Every time we come pass these junctions ( on several occasions) it's the same issue there are no obvious problem. Why are the signs lying, it's currently saying oncoming vehicles, this morning it said debris in road. There are no reasons for restrictions.
