Officials had been warned about pothole before pensioner died on his bicycle. Another tragic death due to a Pothole. The whole system for reporting defects and carrying out repairs needs completely changing. @APPGCW @CyclingLawyers telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/10…

Another awful smart motorway tragedy. Life-saving radar technology had been broken on the M4 for five days before Pulvinder was killed, meaning she was sat in a live lane for more than five minutes before she was hit, whistleblowers told the Mail dailymail.co.uk/news/article…

Life-saving tech 'not working on road where grandmother was killed' 

Pulvinder Dhillon, 68, from London, was killed on the M4 on Monday when her car broke down and was struck by a white van. Smart motorway tech was allegedly broken during the fatal smash.

@GlosRoads Sign on the roundabout at the top of Tetbury Hill in Cirencester says road closed from 10th Jan 2022 for 10 weeks. From where to where exactly ?

@GlosCC What are all the temporary video surveillance cameras for at the roadside all around all the M5 junction 12 entry and exits and all along the B4008 towards the EfW plant ? Presumably they are authorised by yourselves ?

I see that they have gone this morning, but the question still stands, please can you tell me what they were for ?
Who stayed to the very end of the credits to see if ‘James Bond will return’

At least nine miles, possibly more, of stationary traffic in all three lanes northbound on M5 this evening between J9 at Tewkesbury and J11a Gloucester. Usual Friday night..
