Really big, deep pot hole. Caused tyre to instantly pop on front drivers side. Not happy considering others have reported it and my colleague also did the same earlier in the day. Had to get recovery out to replace tyre, costing over £100.

  • This pot hole had just caused my right front tyre to burst on the spot. Leaving me as a female alone in the dark waiting for recovery. The pot hole is so deep I would not be surprised if my alloy is also damaged. It is dark and dangerous weather to go and take a photo of the hole but this needs looking at urgently not within 5 days!

    Pothole is claiming another victim. Caused my tyre to rip, slow to totally flat puncture. Had to get a mobile tyre fitter out and paid £255 for the fix. My young daughter wasn't happy, spoilt her day to the Silverstone Museum.
