Doorway to M5 been missing for 5 years

Reported via desktop in the Structures (eg bridges, fencing, noise barriers) (NH) category by Cllr Hilary Bills at 15:15, Tue 1 April 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7371460.

At this point where there are steps to gain access to the M5, the door has been off its hinges for 5 years (it is still there) and the hole which is left has been covered by Heras fencing. From the M5 side it looks like this fencing has been pushed away. Going towards Jct 2 from this gap in the fencing there is another panel missing less than 5 panels away. This is a park area and is visited by many young people and I think we have waited long enough to have this security problem sorted. Thanks
