  • Pothole has now grown. If hit, this will cause flat tyres and damage to wheels and vehicles. Visibility is limited due to the pothole being just over the bridge. Cannot also avoid it due to the road being narrow.

  • Pothole still here and getting larger, it is just over the brow of the bridge, so very difficult to avoid especially when traffic is coming the other way.

  • Pot hole just 10/15m after bridge is causing instant tyre damage. Cannot see pothole due to puddles.
