  • It doesnt need a photo. It needs repairing. Lots of other junctions are being done which were no way near as bad as this one.

  • As what previous person reported, this doesn't need a photo it needs the whole junction cutting out and starting again. The whole section of road through the lights is shot. Stop requesting photos and get off your backsides and go and look for yourselves.

  • I note this was actioned to be fixed in October last year but the potholes are yet to be fixed and this section is in desperate need of repair - dangerous for vehicles and road users. Please repair asap

  • This section of road needs repairing urgently and properly. First reported in October, still nothing done or any repairs scheduled. Not acceptable. Getting worse by the day.

  • This section of road across the traffic lights has been poorly repaired year after year why don't you just do the job properly and stop wasting tax prayers money on poor pothole maintenance and resurface the section? Why is it a small pothole on shilton road by some counselors house get repaired within 7 working days on a section of road that has been resurfaced three times already and yet this nagging problem still exists year after year? Let's see itv repair in seven working days like outside the counselors house???

  • This has gotten significantly worse since after Christmas, the holes are so deep as to be almost undrivable

  • The road at the traffic lights junction Dowles Road and Burford road is littered with potholes in both directions

  • Still waiting, Are you waiting for an accident before you fix this atrocious piece of road

  • As previous ‘posters’ have said, this is lethal, if a motorcyclist comes off due to these potholes, WODC will be lucky if they don’t have a fatality on their hands. Every test this section of road gets ‘bodge repairs’. Why don’t you do the job properly for once. It is not good whinging that you are busy, if you repaired the roads properly then you wouldn’t keep having to bridge them every few months. How a ‘surveyed road’ can be allowed to get into this condition is beyond words
