Extremely dangerous Road Surface.
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5562236.
The off slip on the South Bound A56 carriageway at the Junction with Sandy Lane is extremely dangerous and poses a serious risk to life and or risk of serious injury. This is the third time in as many months that I have reported the issue of stones and pebbles that cover the mouth of the junction below the cattle grid. The loose stones are causing vehicles to skid when exiting at this point, therefore posing a serious safety risk. There is a similar problem with loose stones in the central reservation cross over refuge at this junction too. This problem needs addressing urgently simply closing the reports after a couple of days is not good enough, the stones and debris need removing from these two points to make them safe. There has been a blatant lack of due diligence here and the safety issues here need to be addressed.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
