Describing an incident around Coventry
Provide the estate name and unit or motorway junction; Coventry and Warwickshire distribution addresses are often described under different nearby towns.
Start with the exact incident location rather than the provider's office address. Mobile coverage regularly crosses town and county boundaries, while workshop suitability depends on vehicle access, equipment and capacity. On motorways give the carriageway direction, the junctions either side and the nearest marker post; on sites give the HGV gate and a site contact.
Nearby coverage
