  • Good evening, Unfortunately the time I pass this location early morning and late evening it is to dangerous to stop, there is nowhere to pull up and no street lighting. The pot hole is very clear to see it when approaching from both directions, as debris is now spilling out. Also, someone has kindly placed a large red traffic cone in the hole to warn drivers and cyclists. Hoping a member of the team can visit the location. Kind regards.
