So .. who do you report that kind of thing to?

Motorways and 'major trunk roads' apparently it's the highways agency, who direct you to 'local authorities' for everything else; but the council are hardly going to be open at 8pm on a Friday night, so.. the local police?

by debris do you mean drunk foreigners?

fit a bull bar to the miggy, problemo solved.

  No I mean four bags of dry cement that clearly fell off the back of a lorry on a blind bend .. which, by the morning, will probably be four bags of rather' hard concrete sitting in the carriageway!

If it constitutes a danger to motorists, the old bill

999, or SOS button, 

And they send out the hato's...

i would have thought it only polite to remove the cement and take it home, finders keepers.

Bit late for the emergency number now I reckon, but it's been reported to the non-emergency number.. one would hope someone goes and clears it up - it's a horrible blind bend that saw a fatality about a fortnight ago .. it'll only take someone swerving around the bags to cause another one.

(And yes, I probably should have called at the time, really  I always get told off by the police for that .. last time was when I found someone climbing in my window in the middle of the night .. chased him off and called the non emergency number in the morning  )

I came across a pile of large cones on the A1 southbound dual carraigeway last Thursday. I called 999 and they were there very quickly. I wasn't prepared to risk my life trying to move them.

The Police would have been well down the call list if that had been me! Undertaker first I reckon 

[aaronjb]

Well he was quicker than me.. largely because it was my bedroom window (ground floor flat) and I was butt nekked at the time!  I knew that it was a rabbit warren of unlit alleyways around my way so he'd be long gone by the time the plod turned up anyway, hence I just shut my window (didn't sleep with it open after that!) and left it till the morning..

They were none too impressed with that course of action
