  • Not quite sure an investigation is needed - pictures say it all. An annual problem which is never fixed correctly/adequately…

  • This pothole is now even worse. It is not helped by the pinch point caused by the silly traffic island meaning it is hard to avoid it. Being on a bus route also adds to the damage.

    Getting worse at least 6 inches deep and 2ft long with vertical edges so damages tyres and so far into the road you cannot get past easily without hitting it as the road narrows to one lane at this point. Looks like a small puddle in the rain but is a 6 inch deep crater
