Metre long pothole on roundabout opposite the entrance to Northampton Academy. The deep pothole is the width of a car tyre, resulting in damage to wheels and also causing drivers to swerve on the roundabout resulting in collisions. Failure to promptly repair this pothole is likely to result in injury to children attending the school.
