  • The pot holes in this location are very difficult to avoid. Previous “patch repairs” have failed and requires urgent action. This isn’t a p4 incident as it’s on a pedestrian crossing and his a health and safety risk.

    Furthermore the road markings have faded.

  • This set of potholes is getting worse by the day.

  • The pot holes are growing daily and are damaging our cars. They cannot wait until July, please re-review them an see for yourselves in person, they will cover the road from left to right by that time they are fixed, they are a danger, they are extremely deep.

  • The potholes at this location are growing larger daily due to the sheer volume of traffic and are difficult to miss, if hit at any speed will likely cause damage or a serious accident, a real danger to cyclists or motorcyclists. This cannot wait until July to be fixed (info above)

  • A deep and clearly hazardous pothole within an area of multiple existing potholes. Due to two lanes merging into one at this location, it is impossible for drivers to avoid the defects. The impact from this particular pothole was severe — the worst I have experienced while driving. I am currently unsure whether it has caused damage to the vehicle’s suspension or wheel alignment, but the depth and force of impact make it highly likely to cause serious damage to shock absorbers, alloy wheels, or other components. Immediate repair is strongly recommended to prevent further vehicle damage and ensure road safety.

  • Got told my Keir on Wed 21 Jan and got told to keep an eye out on Fix my Street for a fix date. Surprisingly you STILL had not pulled it forward from July 2026 to the next coming working days. This is completely unacceptable and Keir should be brought to task by WNC for non delivery under their contract.

  • The potholes across the traffic lights heading towards Sixfields are very large and likely damaging to wheels / tyres and suspension. How on earth did an expected completion date go from 2/2/26 to 5/2/26? This road needs to be repaired *urgently*. I was travelling in the opposite direction today and saw a vehicle go through the potholes, they nearly made the vehicle take off and must have made quite a bang in the cabin.

  • They came along early and filled 1 pot hole in and closed this job. So they had an email from myself to clearly state that the job is far from closed so it had to be scheduled back in.
