  • This pothole bent my wheel last week. Why is it not being fixed until January? The entire road from Abthorpe to Silverstone Wood is dangerous due to the ridiculous amount of traffic that is using it to avoid the A43.

    I too have just had a front tyre completely blown because of this pot hole which is getting worse. Only way to avoid is to move into the centre of the road, unable to avoid due to oncoming traffic. Two pit holes close together with further more up the road. Very dangerous.
