Appalling Standard of Repair to Sunken Road Issue (previously reported)

Reported via desktop in the A pothole in road category anonymously at 18:38, Tuesday 3 September 2024 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6432700.

What three words, approx: ///invoices.held.glosses (the same location as previously reported on the B4077).

This sunken road area has been 'repaired' to an appalling standard and now we have a raised 'sleeping policeman' to drive over that will likely cause damage to suspension, steering or other vehicular components. It is simply not good enough nor is it safe and posses a risk to drivers and vehicles driving at speed. Another surface repair, likely by the same team, was done a few hundred yards further on, on the other side of the road in the direction of Toddington....again the execution sub standard.

Today I witnessed a car infront of me come to a rolling stop shortly after driving over the raised hump at speed, forced to stop on a sharp corner. I suspect this bad repair has damaged the drivers vehicle but due to the flow of traffic / logistics I could not stop to help.

This repair should be redone as a matter of urgency.
