Is this the junction between the Stone Road and Beaconside? If so I reported it about 18 months ago as well.
Good to see such a fast and efficient repair service, eh?
Never knew this was called Spitfire Island though, is this a new name for this island?
It is called redhill the island is about to be completely overhauled so only immediately dangerous defects are being repaired. due to its location, it's unlikely to pose a hazard to pedestrians and vehicles should be traveling at low speed. however, if it gets worse a temporary repair would be carried out.

And in an area of the road where drivers are applying their brakes or need traction to accelerate onto the roundabout.
Not to mention the holes affecting the drivers ability to steer properly.

The lack of pedestrian crossing facilties on the side of the Shire Horse across to the new housing estate is a dangerous defect, although the defect is more in the heads of the town planners mental faculties in not providing safe pedestrian access across a dual carriageway that divides a massive housing estate and multiple pubs\eateries!

It’s okay because they’re doing some roadworks at some random point in the future so they’ll get around to it then.

M6 roundabout is the Creswell Interchange
Big A34 roundabout is the Redhill roundabout
not sure if the smaller one between M6 and Redhill is the Spitfire Island as that leads to Mustang Drive , the next one along Mustang Drive may be the Spitfire Island as that one actually has Spitfire Close and the Spitfire premier inn on it. But only a few have official names.

In Naas, they named the roundabouts, generally using the outward destination for the name and they identified each one with signs, to avoid ambiguity, but, where there were duplications, they had to think of other names.

According to Staffordshire County Council Highways, the roundabout between 'Creswell Interchange' and 'Redhill Roundabout' is referred to as 'A34 From M6 Roundabout At Creswell'. I can find no 'name' for the two roundabouts along Mustang Drive.

Maybe someone needs to get creative with the spray paint again, like they did last year (well I think it was last year).

How long has it been a thing where on a retail park, if you're reversing out of a space its standard for everyone else to just not give way and drive on past ? I've just been on Queens RP parked outside the empty units nose in....came to reverse and there was nothing coming my way so inching out, then a Corsa comes up, can see i'm reversing out and just ploughs on, with the driving giving me the finger as he went past (reg FN60WUL btw)....
i could understand it if i had just pulled out in front of someone.... #flogs

I had exactly the same happen to me as I was carefully reversing out of my parking space at Aldi just up the road and then a black vauxhall (not a Corsa though) turn right straight across me without even indicating as I was heading to the exit.
Some people just have no patience or consideration for other drivers.

In my case I saw the idiot coming and was already 3/4 out of the parking space when they turned into the Aldi car park. They actually accelerated and swerved to get around me.
I usually try to reverse into parking spaces but in this instance I had no choice because I need the space the hatched area of a disabled bay gives to be able to fully open my door. There was only one spot available and it only had the hatched space on the driver's side.

It is my general practice to reverse into a space, but this often seems to take people by surprise and they will stop close behind me, wandering whatever I might possibly be doing. These days, I generally pretend not to have seen them and then start reversing towards them slowly. At least I then get a bit of amusement from the pointlessness.
I also get this when I attempt to reverse into my drive. People will often pull up behind me, despite my indications of stopping.
Like so many other things, it is time to abandon hope.

So it just appeared out of thin air?
