M5, northbound, between mile marker 122 and 121.5, inside lane. numerous potholes, 3rd April
M5, northbound, between mile marker 122 and 121.5, inside lane. numerous potholes greater than 30cm wide and approx. 2" deep. Pot holes present for 4+ months.
The drop down menu does not enable you to provide details if you say it is an immediate danger. So despite having to click no, it most certainly is a danger having many potholes on a motorway.

Traffic lights have not been adjusted for hour change, 2nd April
This morning (2nd April), the traffic lights were switched on in the morning rush hour around 7.30am. Normally they are switched off in rush hour. I suspect that they need to be adjusted to account for the change to British Summer time

Missing Traffic light structure & individual traffic lights are out, 18th March
1. There is a whole traffic light missing when travelling from Tortworth towards J14 M5. It was knocked out by a car months ago, if not longer. Will it be replaced?
2. Several of the other traffic lights are in situ but don't actually work. Will these be looked at/replaced, or is this a cost cutting exercise?

Significant amounts of litter, 8th March
Junction 14 Falfield slip road as coming off of the M5 there is a significant amount of litter on the right hand side of the slip road in the tree and vegetation. Full of a variety of bottles, cans, cups and paper litter as you approach the traffic lights. This has increased over the last few months and more noticeable now the evenings are getting lighter again.

Traffic management, 18th February
Hello, I have to pass through the Falfield M5 junction daily which is subject to a worsening traffic management situation, long traffic queues, hours wasted in time spent queueing, as well as unimaginable levels of emissions from vehicles sat stationary for extended periods of time. I’d recommend that the traffic management system at this junction is reviewed with a view to constructing a more suitable junction to cope with expanding use as more people use this junction as new build developments are starting and completing. Thanks, Dan

Ditches blocked causing localised flooding, 9th February
The drainage along Sundayshill Lane is ineffective and is causing the road to flood whenever it rains. This is resulting in the lane not being passable or flooding peoples engines. The ditches need dredging/clearing.

Flooding, 4th February
When the rain happens, we always get a flooded road here. It is actually a large puddle that covers the entire road. Drains need clearing, or ditches need improvement.

Road not swept in years - covered in gravel, weeds etc, 27th December
Sweep this road and junction. It is dangerous because there is too much surface gravel, which is a skid risk and covers the road markings. The weeds are so high around the islands that they obscure the signs…

The roads leading to Junction 14 of the M5 are a disgrace. Lots of litter, car part and sign frames with sand bags. Also the slip ways to and from the motorway.
