We have lost 2 tyres already and others were stopped changing wheels Tuesday night 3-2-26. Encroaching so far into the road on a slightly hidden curve that drivers can choose between hitting the hole or hitting oncoming traffic. Approx 4ft x 2ft and 8 inches in depth.

Beginnings of the hole visible on Google Streetview in April 2025. Reported on here many times since September 2025 or before. The only saving grace so far is that a motorcycle hasn't hit it, that would probably kill or seriously wound the rider.

We will be raising claims against the council for damages incurred.

Council ref: ENQ261080714
