Dangerous road surface J8-J10 M6, 21st May

Sun, 21 May 2023 10:29:18 +0100
52.559014 -1.979107

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.

I would like to request that our street is made permit only due to the fact teachers from pennyhill keep parking so inconsiderately and incredibly dangerous double parking if ever a fire engine had to come down here it would struggle. We struggle to get onto our own driveways. Called the school numerous times and they just said to contact highways.!!!

Lighting not working on either "Give way" Sign, 13th September

Tue, 13 Sep 2022 21:54:00 +0100
52.537317 -2.017028

There are two give way signs at the end of Dial Lane which are both fitted with lights so the signs can easily be seen upon approaching the bend. Neither of the signs lights are working meaning drivers can't see the signs clearly of a night time until they are within 10 metres of the sign not giving enough distance time to potentially avoid a accident.
