On the slip road along the A1 and down to the A167, the litter is awful! This road was supposed to be picked in October as you told me several times, and yet hasn't been touched! There are piles of pipes, loads of rubbish and it is old and just ignored.

So when they were doing roadworks to this junction in 2014 they adding 3 lanes but never surfaced the road which is I say lazy works so come and resurface this part of road adding direction signs and new road layouts. the road layout now just both go to the A1(M), A167 and A693 For all 3 lanes add a lane restriction for all the lanes so they don't go to the same places.

The traffic light sign is put infront of 2 driveways . 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 !!!
