Mud/Clay/Sand, 18th February

Sun, 18 Feb 2024 15:29:51 +0000
53.053943 -2.230847

On the slip road coming onto/going off the A500 there is an entrance to what seems to be a quarry. There is clay-like mud and sand all over the road and is slippery when wet. Whoever owns the site should be forced to pay for the cleanup and continued maintenance if they're going to be using that entrance often. It's dangerous and is going to cause an accident. The issue has been there for some time and is persistent.
