This section of road is very dangerous for cyclists in particular as it quite shaded, on a blind bend, a gradient where drivers inadvertently stray on to the wrong side of the road. If you are unaware of the potholes, cracks and general appalling state it could easily create a a bad outcome for a cyclist if they could not take avoiding action quickly enough. It requires immediate attention please.

This road is pretty close to unrideable on anything other than a mountain bike. Given up trying to ride downhill as you have no safe route. Even uphill it's a nightmare. Not really a pothole just complete failure of the road over a length of about 30 metres. This has been issue for years, amazed that it's not been addressed.
