Heavy corrosion on traffic light pole
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9234343.
There is a traffic light pole on the M4 junction 19 roundabout on the near side as you go from the M32 outbound, underneath the M4 on the roundabout as if you were heading towards the M4 eastbound. It is near to the traffic light controller cabinet. It is not on the M4 junction 19 eastbound exit slip.
Said traffic light pole is heavily corroded, so much that there is a hole at the base and you can see the orange armoured cable inside.
I have concerns that the corrosion will spread and affect the structural integrity of this pole and worse case, the pole will eventually fall over. It has been this way for a considerable period of time and I'm surprised your inspectors or sub contractors haven't reported this already.

Thank you for making your report. We have asked our inspection team to attend this location and assess the issue.
If any work is needed, they will arrange for this to happen. Should no immediate work be required we will continue to monitor this during our regular inspections.
Although we always aim to complete repairs as quickly as possible, timescales do vary as we try to minimise disruption to customers by combining activities into single closures and always ensuring the safety of our people.
Kind regards
