Litter and rubbish north and southbound on A1 from Washington to DUrham, 21st January

Sun, 21 Jan 2024 00:28:42 +0000
54.858738 -1.555702

Huge build up of litter along both carriageways and central reservation that hasn't been cleared for months. Undergrowth has died back so now is the time to sort it out! Trees and bushes thick with plastic, it is gruesome. I remind Highways of their service level agreement to the government - to keep the highways predominantly clearly of litter. It is appalling!!

Building an sos area emergency refuge area built, 28th May

Sun, 28 May 2023 10:05:08 +0100
54.8594 -1.55578

Because this current SOS emergency refuge area is old and broken I would build a SOS area not for a smart motorway so there a space to get to the phone and a path to get to the phone. plus its very dangerous if you get out your vehicle people are speeding so its just a test if it would work, pass this idea on and see if it works,

When lights are on red the traffic will be blocking both driveways .. my husband will be pulling trailer and if the drive is blocked he won't be able to get onto drive this will cause total blockage on road !! Surely common sense is ruled out !!!
