On both Northbound and Southbound M6 between junctions 22 - 23 the road surface is becoming dangerous with large craters opening on the central carriageway. Please can you inspect these areas as I am concerned they will soon damage cars and / or cause an accident. Many thanks.

Dangerous Driving by another motorist, 25th May

Thu, 25 May 2023 16:28:21 +0100
53.437032 -2.578126

Driver of Vehicle LO59 GFA Mercedes Sprinter for a company CU Design, 300 yds prior to the slip road, at approx 15.30 drove into the access road for the road works and continued through the barriered section to exit at Junction 22. Causing a worker to move out of the way rather quickly before he was struck by the van. Unfortunately no CCTV footage from myself, however I'm sure the team on that section have done a report. he stopped in traffic later, I have a photo of the driver that will clearly identify him and his company details off the van. Please do something about this as the teams need to be protected against idiots like this.

Severe Pothole on M6 Northbound - damaged my vehicle, 5th May

Fri, 05 May 2023 23:27:23 +0100
53.437692 -2.579666

There are continuing long-term roadworks on the M6 (seemingly delayed), and a number of potholes. There is one specifically on the M6 Northbound in the middle lane which is not visible , but my car tyre is damaged as a consequence and requires now replacement. Being it is a runflat tyre as well, the cost will be excessive. Please can these repaired ASAP so no further damage occurs. I am looking to claim for the cost of my damaged tyre and replacement from Highways Agency. Thank you for your understanding
