Ever-growing pothole ignored for months

Show reporter’s name

Reported via mobile in the Potholes category by Chris Barltrop at 17:21, Sat 8 March 2025

Sent to Reading Borough Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7246098.

This pothole is in the entrance just where cyclists will turn left in from the Wokingham Road and, in my case, turn right onto the shared path. Unsuspecting cyclists won’t be able to avoid it unless their routing passes it. Even though I know it is there I sometimes fail to avoid it. That’s a lottery.

Is RBC going to wait for a serious head injury before it acts?
