  • Very large and extremely dangerous pothole that has been left unaddressed and now poses a serious and unacceptable risk to road users.

    This pothole is difficult to avoid even in good conditions, and in darkness or bad weather it is effectively invisible. Hitting it at speed could easily cause significant damage to cars and presents a severe risk to motorcyclists

    It is frankly alarming that a hazard of this magnitude has been allowed to remain.

  • Very dangerous deep pothole on the northbound side of the A 508, just after the Arthingworth turn

  • Pothole has been here for a good few weeks, it is now increasingly more dangerous, how this has not been repaired already. This could cause significant damage if hit & I’m surprised it has not caused an accident already

  • This pothole needs urgent upgrade to Level 1- it has deteriorated rapidly in the past 5 days and vehicles are swerving into the oncoming lane to avoid it as it spreads further across the carriageway on a left hand bend

    A fatality is just a matter of time unless a lane restriction / warning is put in place approaching

  • This is getting worse - danger to all road users even if we know its there -this surely meets the criteria for the most urgent of repairs
