Fixed
This section of road had a previous repair where a deep large pot hole has emerged, which is of potential for a nasty puncture or wheel damage to vehicles. Needs urgent repair to be carried out as is a danger to pedestrians especially when crossing the road in the dark hours.
Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4217938.
Pot hole has worsened and would say has been contributed by the daily heavy oversize red and black Sivyer Transport Ltd Trucks seen by residents, 3 - 4 times a day entering from London Road using Highland Road as a rat run short cut into Shortlands. There are several blind spot bends along Highland Road which is not suited for these vehicles which at times drive at speed and is only a matter of time before there is either a serious vehicle collision or a member of public is seriously injured. Please can the company be contacted of these concerns and to seize using Highland Road as a cut through to Shortlands. Along Highland Road there are several dips noticed in tarmac which can only guess is caused by the heavy trucks driving along. Hopefully in the future the roads will suffer less damage and repairs carried out most soonest. Many thanks.

This is simply not acceptable. Problem first reported in early February and it's May now - 3 months in the two pot hole have got bigger and deeper. Plenty of children cross the road as school is opposite. It is an accident waiting to happen as any car could easily loose control when it falls into the pothole. Please update us asap. Loose debris all around it.

Hello...Status is incorrect showing In Progress. Recent photographs attached confirms there has been no progress since the defect was logged some months ago!Mr Mayor, Bromley Council...this is a big let down to the tax payers and sub standard public service.Ample opportunties to fill these potholes.Hopefully local MP will be aware of this!This is most dissappointing to have to still report the same pot holes defects months down the line!No doubt this won't be the last reporting.More to come again!!!

I just went past this and it is really really deep with steep wall. Depth of it is at least 5cm I believe, couldnt take a photo because I was driving. It’s ridiculous that it’s not fixed yet when people first reported it in February. Council I am sure will be getting compensation costs for all broken wheels/alloys/suspension/tyres/people tripping and worst case injuring themselves. at least put a sign that there is a massively deep pothole there for all non locals who I am sure hit it without realising.

Hear hear observant member of the public.I echo your concerns the potential of damage to vehicles and of personal injuries in the waiting.It doesn't help that Highland Road is being used as a rat run during the day by over sized HGV's and skip lorries as a cut through to Shortlands.The poor street lamps do not illuminate the deep pot holes in the dark hours.Really hope no one has an accident and ends up in A&E when hazards could all be avoided by having the pot holes filled correctly and sooner rather than later into another month!These should be highlighted with fluorescent paint and road work barriers of hazard to warn vehicle users and pedestrians meanwhile.
-
Bromley council can you tell us why this has not been fixed since February and even more worrying since you updated in April that your contractor has been notified to take action. If we don't see this resolved this week urgently, I will be escalating to my councillors, on twitter and my local MP.

Pothole is over 10cm deep and cars are on driving on the other side of the road to avoid it - direct risk of collision with traffic from the other direction.
-
This is now around 8inches deep meaning a car could ground itself. Thus this has become extremely dangerous and potentially very expensive for the Council
-
Appropriate action has been taken to resolve the issue.

There is still a huge amount of debris left from the deep potholes in the junction of Highland Road and Beckenham Lane. These should be cleared - there are large chunks of stone/ tarmac still there. Finally the delay in completing a basic stick on plaster job of filling the two potholes has led to significant detoriation of the adjacent area and dents are beginning to appear there. Will be copying this incident to Shortlands and Bromley councillors on Facebook.
