Reported by several other people this weekend. Previous site manager now resigned used to deal with issues when asked politely. New site manager & contract manager claim its not thir responsibility to stop this or rectipfy what is now a MAJOR H&S ISSUE. Ditch made by lorries is approx 8 inches wide and 8 inckes deep - can not be seen in the dark and cars have been driving off the tarmac as there is no lighting, no white lines, no curb and no grass since Mulberry dug it up and made a mess which they claim today IS YOUR FAULT AT RCC HUGHWAYS & they have nointention of rectifying &it wil remain as it is FOR TWO YEARS AT LEAST. Mulberry claim RCC have told them it is fine to leave it dangerous & have refused to put any bollards up . Also there is loose tarmac chippings all over the road in front of their now 3 entrances. A bike (cyclist) skidded on this a tthe weekend. Previously a motorbike went over in mud caused by Mulberry. Melton have bollarded all along the approaches severl to the new roundabout WHY CANT YOU DO THIS. Are you waiting for a FATALITY like occured in Langham at 11.30 yesterday, Sunday 2 March 2025 . Put bollards out now. Make Mulbeery SWEEP THE ROAD EACH EVENING. Put up proper temporary sinage now. Put up new 30 mph signs at least 500 metres outside th eparish as drivers are stil doing 60mph as they get to the corner near the junction with Willow Close. SOMEONE WILL DIE.
