Two of the photos show how the small grass verge adjoining the hedge has been lost from the point where the hedge is higher (and wider) and then stretches for many yards westwards towards the A46. The other two photos show how the edge of the tarmac road (about 18”) has disappeared under a collection of earth and debris. These two photos were taken where a small gulley has been cut out at close to the point where the 30mph warning appears on the road. The gulley had to be cut out to allow natural drainage of surface water into the field, thus preventing the road flooding

Thank you for reporting a pothole.
First, a safety inspector will visit the location to assess whether a repair needs to be completed and plan the work needed. Works are prioritised based on the urgency of the situation. The council aim to repair all significant potholes (more than 4cm deep and 30cm wide) within 28 days.
In some cases a temporary repair will be needed, to make the area safe, then engineers will return to make a permanent repair.
We will provide updates about this report.

This pothole report has now been passed to the Safety Inspection Team for assessment.
A safety inspector will make an assessment of the work needed and they will consider a number of factors, including the flow of traffic and the size of the pothole.
If repair work is required, the pothole will either be classed as urgent or will be put into a planned programme of works to ensure it is repaired as efficiently as possible. We aim to complete the repair work within 28 days.
In some cases a temporary repair will be needed, to make the area safe, then engineers will return to make a permanent repair.
An update on the outcome of the safety inspection will be provided.
