Nail Debris - lots of it

Reported via desktop in the Road surface (NH) category anonymously at 17:43, Mon 24 March 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7330539.

East side of Carkeel Roundabout, between dual carriage way outbound/inbound- Severe Nail debris by curb. I have picked up most of the nail/bolt debris but the amount of nails in gravel here and proximity of traffic needs to be cleared by Highways Personnel. Shovel and Dust pan needed, shovel to scrap up. Motorcycles and any Vehicles straying the main flow, will collect Nails in tyres Guaranteed. Most of the roundabouts in Cornwall will reap a good bowl full of nail/screw debris from builders flat bed trucks etc. With all the building work going on the problem is growing. Can Highways have a programme to clean the 'debris fields' on roundabouts properly, soon?
