From the A 45 to the garden centre the road is absolutely diabolical

There are lots of massive potholes which are causing the road to be dangerous. You cannot drive straight along the road but have to veer left and right constantly. It’s been like this for a few years but is now worse than ever. I know it’s been reported before but nothing has been done. Other roads are being sorted most of which are nowhere near as bad as this. It isn’t helped with constant large lorries leaving the tip and sewage centre. This is dangerous. Please sort as a priority.

If, as you say, a temporary fix has been done then it hasn’t helped. Someone needs to check the road out as a matter of urgency. IT IS NOT SAFE for drivers and cyclists. It’s one of the worst road surfaces I’ve seen in Northampton.

A45 to the garden centre up near crow lane, its still really bad, your temporary fixes are not working, you also need to look at the hole near the white elephant as a motor biker nearly came off his bike and also Moulton park dual carriageway towards nationwide roundabout has holes everywhere, please see to these as a matter of urgency !

Investigation: Completed (Highways to Monitor, Routine Inspection Programme) - Thank you for your enquiry. We are aware of the issues on this road and have identified it as a potential candidate for a future resurfacing scheme.
Due to the road’s proximity to the A45 and surrounding businesses and facilities, carrying out permanent repairs is challenging, as this would require a full road closure. A closure of this nature is complicated further by the weight restriction on the bridge near Cogenhoe. We will continue to ensure the road remains safe by completing permanent repairs where possible. Where permanent repairs cannot be undertaken, we will carry out semi-permanent work and continue to monitor the condition of the roadFor more information about our services, please visit https://www.westnorthants.gov.uk/ parking-roads-and-transport
