THERE is some good news for motorists in the Crediton area.

Overnight last night, late on Wednesday, March 19, contractors working for Devon County Council carried out line painting works at some Crediton locations.

This included the Jockey Hill roundabout and the Exhibition Road/Commercial Road roundabout.

Many local residents and local councillors have complained for many months about the poor state of some of the disappearing lines at locations in the town, as previously highlighted in the Crediton Courier.

Sadly many areas of the town have still not made it onto the list of locations where lines have disintegrated.

Notable locations include the Tesco roundabout on the A377, Meadow Gardens, Church Street and many others.

If you are reporting an emergency that requires immediate attention, please telephone 0345 155 1004. An emergency on the highway is defined as something that is very likely to present an imminent threat to life or serious injury or serious damage to property.

To report a problem that isn't an emergency, please zoom in on the location of the problem by clicking on the map, until the 'Actions' box appears.

If the problem is with a particular item such as street light, Illuminated sign or bridge, then click on the relevant icon and select the "report fault" option.

To report another problem of the same nature at a different location, click on the map at the appropriate location and report the next problem.

When you are using the map facility on the site, if you can see that the issue you plan to report is already there, you can use the option to add yourself to the existing problem instead of creating a duplicate report.
