  • The pothole has gotten majorly bigger - the pot hole actually covers half of the road now and is massively deeper now. You either stay really close to the curb but for some bigger cars this will cause your wheels to scrape the curb or you have drive on the opposite side of the road which is dangerous and impossible as it’s a busy road.

  • This pot hole is now dangerous as positioned at a point opposite a school entrance just before a zebra crossing. It gets bigger each day with bits breaking off every time the double decker buses and delivery lorries travel over it. I live right next to it and the noise of vehichles hitting it (especially at night) is quite frightening.

  • This pothole is now deep and at risk of damaging a car. Also close to crossing with bits of gravel flying off when hit risking pedestrians due to it being at a controlled pedestrian crossing. This pothole should be reassessed in line with your guidance as this is not a category 4 carriage way pothole

  • The pothole is now bigger and deeper and caused my tyre to puncture. Clearly a 26 week wait is unacceptable, this needs doing before there is more damage to cars and/or an accident

  • Vehicles suddenly swerve to avoid this. This is dangerous just before a zebra crossing, someone may get hit by a vehicle avoiding the pothole or hitting the pothole and suffering a blow out or puncture causing a vehicle to go out of control. This needs to be sorted now.
