“I always encourage people to bring any roads issues to my attention so that we can work together to keep our roads as safe as possible.


“It would appear that, following some tree cutting in the area, the works have resulted in a drain close to the road's edge becoming exposed posing a risk to motorists on what can be a very busy route.
“I am thankful that following my representations to DfI, they have agreed to put some warning signs and cones to warn motorists of the danger to address this in the short term.
