Deep and dangerous sharp sided pothole caused by very recent substandard work. The contractors have neglected to back fill and compact the hole correctly. Also 2 more of the same by the building site entrance below the crest estate.

This hole is getting worse. The contractors (Airband) didn't properly compact the holes they had excavated. I hope the tax payer is not picking-up the bill for shoddy workmanship.

I have gone into this pothole twice now in the dark. my suspension it now knackered. This pothole is so dangerous as it is in direct of your wheels. Please put a cone in it to help others from damaging there car. Who do I send the bill to when I my car is fixed

This hole has been there for weeks since work closed our Main Street. It is getting worse and worse and is damaging vehicles.

This hole is progressively getting worse and makes a loud noise when cars and trucks drive over it! Poor workmanship has unfortunately lead to this happening! This needs addressing as a matter of urgency please!

Location is just outside Northam House. Size: 4" deep and 73cm x 1m. Appears to be patch which has sunken. Why aren't the contractors who supposedly fix these held accountable for there repair. There seem to be so many botched jobs in this area.
-
Still nothing has been done about this, not even marked as dangerous. I usually remember to drive around it but yesterday hit it. Thankfully no damage to my car. There are now multiple such potholes created by the work done by the cabling company in Stoke Row and Checkendon.

Per previous note as to how claim, Google it and there is a form to fill in. Council will take their time hoeping you'll go away but pursue. Mall claims court will shake them up. Obviously negligent as over 2 weeks since first reported. I thought Keir Starmer had promised coucils more money to deal with this epidemic! I think there should be some sort of independent investigation into how the repair contracts are awarded!

Sharp sided pothole right outside someones drive. There was roadworks going on here the other week and theyve left behind this - why is this allowed? It’s incredibly dangerous and not to mention there is a school just up the road therefore children cycling/ walking and I’ve seen multiple cars swerve round this. The edges are so sharp it would puncture your tyre straight away.
CAN THE COUNCIL PLEASE CONFIRM THIS IS BEING FIXED AS A PRIORITY. Awful
-
This is the same pothole as the one positioned outside Northam House We need it fixing before it causes a major indecent
-
When will we have a response to the communities concerns

After having been filled halfway, the pothole is now (28 Feb) filled completely. Looks like the contractors did a good job. Let's hope it stays intact...
Thanks for keeping the ball rolling with this particular dangerous pothole!
