Deep pothole

Reported via mobile in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 21:32, Wednesday 21 January 2026

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8738976.

This pothole is on the S bend and not avoidable on the turn. The road is steep and twisting and if someone has a puncture or damage this will create a very dangerous hazard on a blind bend. The pothole is more than 40mm deep but in too dangerous a location to get a photo.
