FIXMYSTREET IN TA5 2GZ
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of TA5 2GZ:
Road surface has disappeared, 26th April
What is supposed to be two-dimensional is now 3D. The road is practically a maze of dips, dents, holes and chasms. Please can we have someone with a pair of eyes look at it, and remediate with something flatter.

Temporary speed signs in pavement, 26th April
The roadworks signs dominate areas of the pavement, forcing pedestrians to walk around, and onto the road. Why do pedestrians have to suffer increased risk to tell road users of a speed limit change. I suggest the contractor reassesses the priority of safety in the scheme.

Dog fouling because of long grass, 26th April
When embarking on a journey to retrieve and dispose of my own dog's waste, I have to avoid a minefield of other dog's waste. This problem exists because the grass hasn't been cut, and the overgrown grass hides the issue.

Lanes perhaps need to be re-signed, 24th April
Travelling from North Petherton to Northbound M5 the near side lane is marked ‘services M5 with arrows pointing to the services and a RH arrow to continue around’ so you have the inside lane to go onto the M5 north. I use this lane twice a week and the number of times my car has nearly been written off because drivers in the next lane to me on my RH side think that either they can go straight into the services which means they’re crossing in front of me, or they go around then want to come across me to go into the lane for the M5north cutting me off or coming towards my side of the car. It’s a very fast road with traffic lights. The signage doesn’t seem to work, perhaps the near side lane should just be for the services, and everyone else to go into the second lane before they then split into left for the M5 north, and right for either straight on and right for M5 south. I am not the only one who has a problem with this roundabout. I have used this particular roundabout for the last 2years.
