Incorrect speed limit signage
12th June
For a number of months there is an end of 20mph speed limit zone sign showing the limit is raised to 30mph on cottonmill lane heading south as it crosses the river ver. However the following repeater signs (very small) are 20mph. The first visible 20mph repeaters are past monks close on cottonmill lane heading south and another 1/3rd of the way along prospect road heading west. However google maps and waze both identify this as being a 20mph limit the entire way. The signs are a completely incoherent.

Road markings
5th June
On the roundabout the white lane markings/ lane discipline need repainting. Many vehicles using lanes incorrectly such as using middle lane to acces A414/M1 northbound despite plenty of lane signage and road marking on approach. Near misses daily and only a matter of time before a serious accident happens

The whole surface over the railway line requires complete resurfacing.
8th April
Full of holes, repaired holes and worn out surface. Awful to drive and cycle over. Please liaise with Network Rail to ensure membrane is not damaged. Dont understand why cul de sacs and short residential roads are resurfaced and this major route has not been addressed as a permanent fix!
