There is an active spring at the top of this run. All of the drains are blocked down to the bottom of the hill. Potholes have formed around every drain, made worse by HS2 traffic. As the water can not fall into the drains it runs across the road on a very dangerous bend. We will soon have frosts and again there will be bad accidents as there are every year. Repairs need to happen now

    On 14th October my front wheel of my car was damaged due to this damaged drain. Can you send me a claim number. This is very dangerous

    This morning approximately 9:40am. Safety system on the bonnet deployed and a new tyre and wheel refurb needed. Still no fix and I know I’m not the only person who suffered damage this morning.

    Had the same on 17/10/2024. Flat tyre and potentially damaged alloy/wheel.

    No warning signs or cordons. Roads were all wet so fully disguised. Loudest bang I've ever heard in my car.

  • This is unacceptable. Numerous cars damaged today. These potholes are now unavoidable and need to be remedied as a matter of urgency. To leave them any longer is totally unfair. At best some coning off and traffic management needs to be put in place

  • Still no action from you with regards to repairing the damage or even warning motorists about the deep and dangerous potholes caused by blocked drains and heavy hs2 traffic.

    Please escalate this issue

  • It is ridiculous, will it take a fatality before something happens?

  • Monday morning Still no action being take or at least no action that has been reported to the community. Vehicles still being damaged. What is being done to repair these potholes? Patching them will not work as the HS2 trucks will just rip any patches apart. Please do something

  • Thank you for reporting the flooding caused by blocked gullies. We are aware of the situation and have initiated a reactive gully cleaning to address the blockage.
