  • 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.

    With regards to tailgating, this is not something we can assist with as it’s driver behaviour which we have no control over as we're not an enforcement agency. The speed limit is 50mph along that stretch of the A1 and any instances of dangerous driving should be reported to the police via the non emergency number 101 or on the website https://www.police.uk/ pu/ contact-us/ .

    Kind regards

    National Highways
