  • This road is a total disgrace ! Even the road has a huge dip right on the canal bridge. The whole lot needs resurfacing properly instead of bodging it every time

  • Hit this pot hole on the way back from Kilsby to Hillmorton on Friday 9th January around 3:45. Popped my front tyre and have damaged my alloy. Looking at over £500 for a new Alloy as well as no way to get to work. So dangerous just before the bridge, there have been fatal accidents on this road before and I wouldn't be surprised if this pot hole causes a crash.

  • I was driving along this road, on my way to work at 5:30am and hit this pothole. The next day I try to get in my car to leave for work and my tyre is completely flat. I have had to get a new tyre and my rim has a puncture. These potholes are ridiculous!

  • This pot gole is getting worse after recent heavy rain. Multiple similar holes nearby. Stating it will be May 26 until it is repaired is unacceptable.

  • Update on my last comment above. Apologies, I was referring to the wrong hole regarding no sign of temporary repair. The fact remains that there are so many it is easy to confuse which one is which.
