Very deep pothole on hill going towards Salcey Forest

Reported via mobile in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 11:36, Tuesday 2 December 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8490941.

There is a very deep pothole as you are going up the hill towards Salcey Forest. It is right on the driving line and very difficult to avoid if there is incoming traffic. In the dark, it is almost impossible to see. The pothole has opened up considerably with the recent wet and then cold weather and is now very wide and deep. It will cause considerable damage if a car or motorcycle hits it and needs repairing immediately.
