50cm x 50cm pothole about 4 inches deep. Caused children to fall off their bikes and I have stepped in it an hurt my ankle this evening

Reported via desktop in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 19:05, Fri 5 December 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8507914.

Pothole has been there for over a year and in the last few months has got much bigger. This is dangerous and must be fixed before a child really hurts themselves. This is next to the nursery so many parents and child use this in addition to road being a cut through to x2 local schools
