Highway dangerously narrowed by years of mud build up

Reported via mobile in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 20:27, Wed 25 September 2024

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 6516459.

From roundabout to shop on Harlestone Rd , on bend, the road has a lot of build up of mud which has caused the road to narrow. Road is 40mph with heavy traffic , including HGV’s . Traffic is moving into middle of road to avoid pedestrians on footpath ( separate problem reported ) . Near misses of head on crashes seen . I think Road needs cleaning north bound to take it back to original width. Can’t see white line anymore. Maybe reduce speed to 30 as pedestrian area ?

    Videos available of near misses on bend between round about and 603 Harlestone Rd. Randomly took video of van pulling into wrong side of highway to keep away from pedestrians but on bend where risks head on collision
