Summit that occured to me last night tho, can't the Highways Agency do summit?/be responsible Isn't it their job to maintain the roads etc etc and for such a large amount surely a car tyre at the wrong angle would go skidding off. They should do summit they would if it was a diesel spill ie send bods out to mop up etc. Also with it being at Avebury and lots of bikes/traffic going past there they would be contributing to a hazzard and as such motorcycle accidents on the whole summit Wiltshire County Council is very touchy about.
Not Highways Agency - A4361 is a County road

and the County can only act if someone tells them about the problem. Did it get reported the same night Steeve came off? Bit late reporting it the following day - the problem could have gone by then, or someone could have been killed because everyone thought someone was doing something but no-one actually did...
