Thank you for your report. We appreciate and share your concerns and frustrations with the large number of frames and associated temporary traffic management that remain on our roads. Please be assured we’re committed to reducing the amount of redundant equipment across our roads and we continue to review the A27 and all our roads, when equipment is reported to our traffic management partners for removal. There are occasions when equipment is required to remain in situ for future use or safety reasons, and we can’t comment on how equipment removal left behind on our roads left from works/diversions undertaken by local authority highways and statutory undertakers is managed. We will arrange for one of our local inspectors to review Stockbridge roundabout to identify any redundant equipment.
Kind regards
National Highways
