Im just updating my previous report and included the invoice of the repair of my car which is currently of the road as it’s not able to teach students to drive because of hitting the pothole whilst on test on Thursday the 29th ive only just submitted the report as I needed transportation to get pictures of the said pothole as my car is in the garage being repaired this is now in the hands of my insurance company and they will be recovering costs from yourselves as the road is totally unacceptable and these issues didn’t happen over night the pothole the student hit is very very deep and the whole road needs repairing I have lots more pictures and videos of that stretch of road.
