2 large dumps of grit across the road 10/12 inches deep

Reported via mobile in the Potholes / Highway Condition category by Karen Timson at 15:50, Saturday 10 January 2026

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8662708.

There are 2 huge dumps of grit half way up Careys Rd in Pury End with one mound 10-12 inches deep and stretches pretty much across the entire road! If this much grit washes down the lane it will block the next two drains which are already very full of debris, which will put the bottom of Careys Rd/Lower St possibly at risk of flooding especially with the rain forecast over the next few days and which often happens in heavy rain.I have done my best to shovel it to one side but this amount of grit needs removing ASAP as there is an awful lot of it!
