    Hit massive pothole at 10.35 this morning 21/12/25. Immediate loss of air to front driver’s side tyre and damage to alloy. Almost lost control of vehicle. Had to be recovered back to garage in Swindon. Extremely dangerous position in road. Someone will get seriously hurt unless this pothole is addressed quickly.

    Literally this same pothole has damaged my tyre. I've now got to get the tracking realigned and replace my drivers side tyre. I had this happen last year in your area and you basically brushed me off. Its a joke the state of the roads.

  • How soon before this pothole is dealt with - it can’t have appeared overnight- there must be numerous notifications about its deterioration over the last month considering the size and depth of it !!! How does it get promoted to extremely urgent!! -needs fixing immediately !!

  • Hit this pothole yesterday. It's got significantly worse recently. I was lucky not to lose a tyre. Impossible to miss in the dark in a line of cars. For a motorcyclist it could be fatal. Please fix it before there a serious accident
