The top layer of the tarmac surface has begun breaking away along the front edge of the T-Junction of Hodge Close and High Street in Astcote, this has caused a long narrow trench to have formed.

Additionally, where the tarmac has lifted and broken away there are several mini potholes which have formed which are rapidly becoming more severe in terms of size and depth.

Whole front edge of T-Junction requires a patch resurfacing with the JCB Pothole Pro.
