  • Another pothole has opened next to this one meaning it is almost impossible to turn off the Hailey Rd. Without hitting one.

  • Four potholes on the junction. All need taking care of because they are causing cars to swerve, it’s also not safe for pedestrians crossing the road, especially when wet and you can’t see how deep they are.

  • This pothole needs to be tackled urgently (turning from Hailey Road into Farmers Close) as it is potentially causing vehicles to swerve at the junction.

  • Pedestrians are now being struck with debris. Water is collecting and flooding the whole junction and washing even more away. Service providers need to take responsibility for this; shoddy maintenance and repairs.
