Three large potholes near the brow of a hill causing vehicles to move over onto the other side of the road with is extremely dangerous

Reported via desktop in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 11:39, Mon 6 October 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8257923.

Going up the hill on Walton Road and away from the cemetery, there are three potholes on the left hand side of the road, just after the vegetation on the side of the road starts and as you approach the brow of the hill. These have got progressively deeper and wider over the last 2 years and need attention. Some vehicles move over to the other side of the road which is very dangerous to oncoming vehicles of course, particularly as they come over the other side of the hill.
