Mobile dot matrix sign causing congestion/ distraction, 12th March

Tue, 12 Mar 2024 10:12:35 +0000
53.303283 -2.971855

Good morning, There is mobile dot matrix sign positioned just before J5 southbound M53 as three lanes merge into two. The sign has been positioned in the past week and is a long distance away from the carriageway. The text is small and there is a large amount of detail describing the roadworks due to take place over 20+ weeks on the M53. The positioning of this sign and the small text is causing traffic to slow significantly at the point of the lane merger, which is causing a large amount of unnecessary and potentially dangerous congestion through distraction especially at rush hour. Please could this sign be moved or a much larger sign be installed? Many thanks.

Overgrowing Bushes, 24th May

53.299729 -2.96513

Down a significant stretch of Hooton Road, up to Oaklands Office Park, there is a lot of overgrowth which is impacting the pedestrian walkway. As the road has a 40mph speed limit cars can pass pedestrians at a reasonable speed and if you have a pushchair (which I do) you are a matter or centre meters from a passing vehicle.

The full length of the M53 embankments are littered with rubbish. However, this exit at the traffic lights with the A41, is particularly bad. I understand that the last few years have been difficult for everyone but the rubbish has been building up on the M53 and is now very unsightly.
