Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7558262.
This obstruction has reduced carriageway to single lane and blocked footpath. The location of it is particularly bad as it is now a blind corner and traffic is blocked. it is very difficult to exit and enter Everest Road, particularly at peak times. There are no traffic control measures in place. Assuming it is storage for roadworks taking place in Old Bath Road. Roadworks down as continuing until July. Could this be relocated to a location that isn't as busy, or further away from the junction. This road is also being used as a diversion route due to the works and temporary traffic lights on Old Bath Road, so even busier than usual. It is chaos at peak times. Has been going on for several weeks now.
