For then last two years between the Botley Interchange and the Cumnor village overbridge there are at least 5 areas on the central reservation that have traffic cones and damaged barriers. Could these please be fixed as the barriers are weakened and another accident in these 5 spots will possible cause the barrier to be broken through

These as explained above have been there for at least 2 years and its time they were fixed as it is a very dangerous road with vehicles travelling at well over the national speed limit most of the time.
