  • Large pothole needing urgent attention - cars forced into oncoming traffic to avoid. This is a very busy commuter route and due to no street lighting the pot hole is difficult to see early morning/evening.

  • Im concerned this triaged as priority 2. This deep, widening and poses significant risk on a national speed limit road of causing vehicle to lose control. To avoid it requires moving oout over centre white line. Please repair urgently.
