Foot bridge over a1 adjacent to Moto services glass bridge, 27th April
We use this footbridge a lot and the condition is deteriorating there is always a huge puddle towards the Washington side of the bridge and it is very deep you have to pledge through it the railings are all rotten so you don’t feel it’s safe and the surface of the bridge is breaking up it seems to be getting worse

Bridge drainage blocked, 23rd April
The pedestrian bridge crossing the A1m just north of Washington services drainage is blocked especially above the southbound carriageway. After rain the bridge footpath is awash (frozen in cold weather) and difficult/dangerous to use. The bridge is well used by people (especially women) working in the nearby trading estate. The bridge in general seems in poor condition but clearing the drains would help crossing the bridge safely. Please give consideration to improving things as time allows. Thanks in advance. Regards V.M.

Drainage issues caused by A1 roadworks causing issues with stones and flooding on Lamesley Road, 5th March
The ongoing roadworks to widen the A1 near the Low Eighton roundabout near Birtley is causing flooding and debris issues to Lamesley road. Water is being redirected as a result of the roadworks down a track that runs parallel to Lamesley road. This has cut a deep channel down the centre of the track and as a result whenever there is rain, water gushes down this track bringing with it a significant amount of debris and stones that are washed onto Lamesley Road. This makes Lamesley Road treacherous to drive down. This has been reported previously to a number of parties and we have been advised that this a national highways issue and you are resolving it. These issues have been ongoing since October and have still not been resolved. Please can you advise on action taken to date and the timeframe for this to be resolved and confirmation that the track will also have remedial works on it to restore it to how it was (as this is a popular walking route). Thank you.

LItter on embankment, 21st January
I have reported this stretch of road for probably 3.4 years now and nothing has been done. The same rubbish is there! Never cleared, nothing changes. There is no excuse as the motorway is often closed for the nearby roadworks. This is not recent litter, this is stuff there since pre-Covid lockdowns. I can't beleive the highways can be so negligent in their duty to keep the highways clear. Without any excuses - when is it being cleared?

Litter, 21st January
Most of this rubbish is coming out of the badly maintained industrial estate and the Moto services, but the bushes along here are gross!!!! I've never seen such a build up of litter. You'd be better to cut all of them down and just have a flat patch of grass you can litter pick. Under the bushes is thick, absolutely thick with waste it must be decades old. This is highways land and you are responsible.

Lack of signage., 16th January
From Western Hwy to ward the southbound A1 in the sleep road at the bend, it would be good to provide some arrow signs to show up the exit and sleep road and the radius of the bend. its so dark during the dark.

Pothole under standing water, 10th December
The road has been badly tarmac (small strip across the middle) leaving the edge of the road to start to corrode. This has led to a large and very deep pothole. When driving through it yesterday my car hit the pothole which was submerged by water due to standing water on the road and flooding (due to poor drainage and heavy rainfall) causing server damage to my car. This left me and my 7 month old stranded for over 2 hours at the side of the road in a highly dangerous place with high speed vehicles coming past. During this time it’s continuous rained, causing me and my 7 month old to become saturated whilst waiting for help to fix the car. During this time I witnessed multiple people doing the same as me hitting this pothole causing their cars to make clucking noises. Following this I went to our local village Facebook page and found multiple people have had the same issues and also reported these issues. The council was said to have dealt with the issue last week by placing a light plastic orange over the hole… which isn’t a suitable measure with the weather conditions or rain and wind. My car has had to put the space saver tyre on for now until I have the funds to buy a new tyre, and is also in need to be seen by a garage to check the underneath and chassis of the car.
