• It looks as though it is getting bigger and is on a regular bus route. I saw that even the S3 bus is dodging this one, so presumably potentially damaging to a vehicle that size.

  The large pothole is now expanding to double its length and covering nearly half the road at the roads narrowest point.

• Large pothole, very deep and difficult to see in the rain.

  As you are still ‘Investigating’ I thought I’d provide an update. Includes a photo with some vehicles bits on the verge?

• I had to rescue a friend last night who wrecked two tyres on this in the rain and dark. If this has been known about and reported since at least 17 Jan there really should be cones or warnings.

  Took out 2 wheels and tyres of my car on the 3rd Feb, couldn’t see the pothole at all due to the flooding on the road. Pictures don’t do the depth justice!

  Why has this not been sorted yet? Every day hear of another car taken out by this hole, especially as the dip is now filled with water. Hopefully these cars are all sending their repair bills to the Council.
