A508 southbound, just outside Market Haraborough. Large pothole on the driving line

Reported via mobile in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 07:41, Tuesday 28 January 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7043704.

28-JAN-2025, southbound on the A508. Large pothole on the driving line seems to have appeared overnight; I drive this route every day to work. Driving over it has damaged a tyre on my vehicle that will now need replacing. It was dark and filled with water so hard to tell the difference between the rest of the wet road.
