Long stretch of unavoidable potholes

Reported via desktop in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 16:12, Friday 6 March 2026

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 9060193.

Stretch of Cotswold Avenue from Dulce Road to Newton Road, including the entrance to the sports centre, pothole reports for this area have disappeared from this site even though it's been reported for months. No spray paint to highlight them or indicate any work imminent. Insanely bad and dangerous road condition and too many potholes to take photos of. Potholes even on the speedbumps and a number of the potholes at the very edge of the road are very deep meaning subsurface of the kerb is exposed. No chance of a cyclist or scooter going past safely. Vehicles swerving all over the place to avoid potholes and vehicles permanently park on either side of the road even at entrance to junctions and roundabouts, so there is no space for swerving. (One section was resurfaced? during a road closure 29th September 2025 until 1st October 2025. The new surface immediately followed all the contours of the previous degraded road surface, so hopefully the whole run will be done up to a decent standard in future.)
