• You highlighted these potholes and the potholes at the elbow of billing lane by the entrance to overstone hall, months ago. You have done nothing about them. There must be at least 10 potholes which are getting worse. Please fix them!

• When turning right into Overstone Park I nearly had a head on crash with a car coming in the opposite direction that was in the middle of the road avoiding the potholes. This is extremely dangerous on this bend and I can’t believe it still hasn’t been fixed nearly 4 months after it was first reported.

• The potholes in this road did have yellow paint sprayed round them which has now worn off - I was there this morning. This shows how much traffic uses this road. This junction is used by the traffic accessing Overstone Prep School - I would have thought access to a school would give the repairs a higher priority. Obviously not!
