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,

Dead/injured domestic cat on hard shoulder, 30th January

Mon, 30 Jan 2023 09:44:15 +0000
54.856583 -1.549631

Hello, I drove between Jnct 62 Durham and Jnct 63 Chester-le-Street northbound about an hour ago (8.30am 30.1.23) and there was an injured/deceased black domestic cat on the hard shoulder which had either been hit by a car or thrown from car window. Unfortunately I spotted it too late to be able to stop safely. The local police and RSPCA were not able to assist at this time. Would it be possible for an inspector to check that area if they are in the vicinity as the cat may have a microchip. I can't be sure of the exact location but it was more towards the Chester-le-Street junction, and I think somewhere just along from the field of Herdwick sheep! Many thanks.

The grass has been cut but no litter picked. I don't know why they don't happen at the same time tbh. Seems obvious to do? Grass cut, litter is worse than I've see it for months! When is it being picked? All way between Washington services and DUrham on both sides.

Traffic light sign, 8th August

Mon, 08 Aug 2022 09:44:31 +0100
54.861763 -1.574085

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 !!!

There is a set of lights approaching Shields Road from the A1 north slip road (I think the sticker said O1 or Q1 on it) are not working. The rest of the signals are but the one for those at the front of the queue coming from the underpass cannot always see when the signal changes.
