Very large and deep sinking pothole
Reported via mobile in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 19:08, Tuesday 10 February 2026
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8888251.
I have incurred costs of nearly £500 because of this particular pothole. This is the second incident in the space of a few months where I have had to pay nearly £500 each time because of the terrible potholes around at the moment. It is very large and very deep and difficult to see in the dark especially when there is oncoming traffic, as there is no way of avoiding it. There are many others that I can see that have reported this issue so it’s surprising it’s not yet been fixed.
