Exit slip road poorly lit, 30th April
A couple of years ago Watchorn roundabout had three of the four slip roads for the A38 upgraded with good LED lighting and improved reflective studs. However when travelling south on the A38 the off sliproad onto Watchorn roundabout never had the new lights fitted and it remains poorly lit, which is a hazard as it's difficult to see the sliproad clearly. I can only presume that whover was in charge of the upgrade thought not to light it because of the nearby hotel or they ran out of money? Can this sliproad have new lighting and also have the reflective studs replaced as a lot don't work now. Thanks

On the southbound carriageway as you approach Watchorn roundabout, most of the signs are that dirty that they are no longer reflective and unreadable. They urgently need cleaning and have been like it for months, maybe years.

2 metre pothole on decent of King street A61, 7th April
Been here for 5+ months and unavoidable if on a bicycle other than slowing right down which is dangerous due to narrow major trunk road to A38 and M1 motorway and the amount of traffic this road carries on a daily basis I am sure many cars are damaged by this missing tarmac!

A38 Locally Known As Alfreton Bypass, Alfreton. The grass verge backing onto number 52 Abbott Road, Alfreton, 10th August
The trees/bamboo backing onto property from the grass verge of the A38. There was a fence erected by the highways to protect the property from the A38 but there are trees that have over grown and are pushing on our fence. Her husband had tried to cut the trees down and then put them through their shredder which has now been destroyed as the trees were too big. now the trees are pushing on the fence and causing damage and would like them to be removed.

Faded road markings, 11th June
On the A38 slip road at the Alfreton Watchorn exit, the road markings have faded. Drivers are making inconsistent lane choices to turn left into Alfreton .Many drivers choose the left lane as they are turning left off the roundabout. However, many drivers use the right lane to turn left - this is because soon after turning left there is another junction with two lanes: a choice of turn left or straight on. Better road markings and signage would help to prevent an accident waiting to happen. I use this junction most days and frequently see inconsistent lane choices. If a driver in the left lane were to go straight on (usually OK at roundabouts) at the same time as a driver in the right lane turned left (because they are going straight on at the next junction) there would be a collision.
