Reported via mobile in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 22:47, Fri 5 December 2025
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council 4 days, 19 hours, 34 minutes later. ref: 8508336.
As you can see a very large deep puddle always forms in this area during heavy rainfall.
Please can an additional road drain be installed and the road resurfaced and contoured to flow the water into it to stop this huge puddle from forming in the future

When the tarmac is relaid will it be done so that it is contoured to gently slope and contour into the nearest road drain / gully so that big puddles / build-ups of water like this don’t continue to occur?
