2 feet long pothole with a further 1 foot pothole
Reported via desktop in the Potholes / Highway Condition category by Lynn Pilley at 10:37, Sat 6 December 2025
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8509118.
The long pothole very close to a previous fix is 2 feet long by 1 foot wide and 2 inches deep. The other picture is just to the north of the previous fix and is one foot long, 6 inches wide and 2 inches deep. The nearest what three words are ///nearly.aimed.unfit As you can see by the puddle, it's difficult to see the depth of the potholes as full of surface water, but I stood in them and measured my boots. For further clarification, the potholes and the previous fix is near the farm gates on both sides of Walgrave Road, Old.
