J9 joining M6 southbound faded white line marking end of slip road, 1st April
Joining the M6 southbound at junction 9 the left hand lane is a long slip road. The lane marking on the right hand side eventually turns from a dashed white line into a solid white line and it becomes the hard shoulder but the diagonal white line across to mark the transition from slip road to hard shoulder has faded. The problem is this lane on approach to junction 8 then turns back to a dashed white line and it becomes the slip road again for the M5 so vehicles often go the whole way from J9 to J8 in the far left lane thinking they are in the exit lane for the M5 because of the dashed line from J9 but not realising the lane has changed to the hard shoulder and they should only merge left to J8 after the hard shoulder section in between. This is an issue when the smart motorway overhead gantry isn’t running and doesn’t say if the far left lane is closed or open.

Safety Gate on canal protecting M5 not working, 19th June
There are two safety gates, one to the East and one to the West, of the M5 underpass and the West gate is inoperable. This was found out at a recent dive survey. These are the Highways infrastructure protecting the M5 and therefore I would like to discuss works to bring them back into operation.

Dangerous road surface J8-J10 M6, 21st May
The road surface on the M6 between J8 and J10 is dangerous. Every approx 5m there is a join in the road surface which is raised from the rest of the road. These joins are akin to speed bumps but due to high use they are eroded in some areas to leave deep cracks and potholes. I find them concerning when driving, but as a motorbike rider, I have serious concern for my safety when using this section of the motorway due to the road surface. It has been ongoing for many years but I have noticed it has become particularly bad over the last 2 months.
