  • Thank you for your report. Our inspection team has visited the location and assessed the issue by inspecting the gullies on the J11A Westbound Entry Slip. All gullies were found to be clear, with the exception of two that have longer‑term issues we are already aware of. These are currently on our needs list and require a more permanent solution. At present, there is no confirmed timeframe for this work, as it depends on designated funding allocations, which may be prioritised for other assets first. We will continue to monitor the area as part of our routine inspections. If any safety concerns arise, we will arrange the appropriate remedial work as necessary until a long‑term solution can be implemented. Thank you again for taking the time to contact us. Kind regards, National Highways
