There are now multiple deep potholes in this area. They are across the whole of the left side of the road heading towards Boughton. You literally have to pick which one you are going to hit, or cross to the other side of the road.

There is a ridiculous amount of deep potholes here, so many that there is no way of avoiding them. This whole leg of road is an absolute state and a repair date in July is not good enough. I’m sure there will be a lot of damage to cars before then.

What is the reason for such a long wait for repair? There are several of these and they a deep! This is core commuter/school run route and is very dangerous.
