Still potholes despite supposed to be repaired.
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8499915.
It is now the 4th time I have reported the section of road from the Boddington VH to new HS2 section of road, heading to Wormleighton. The highways dept keep saying they have repaired the road and it has not. Roads around The Boddingtons are in atrocious condition and are causing car damage almost every day. Please do a full investigation NOW and repair all potholes.

I have photos from over 12mths ago showing the same potholes never having been repaired. There have been at least 7 reports of serious damage to vehicles and an injured cyclist. West Northants Council are slow to repair and do not show any common sense when the eventually repair one pothole, but ignore another less than 17inches away, so would have to return at another time, but they don't. The whole of our village[Upper/Lower Boddington] roads are virtually undrivable, and need more than pothole repairs. It is a total disgrace, and another tax on drivers having to pay for damage to cars caused by poor roads. Third world countries have better roads.
