Multiple potholes on this short stretch of road used by very heavy traffic

Reported via mobile in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 12:53, Sun 30 November 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8482304.

Potholes on this road have been temporarily repaired before that never last. I have asked many times for consideration to resurface the whole stretch of road. It is increasingly being used by heavier farm traffic. I would be pleased to meet on site and discuss.

  • Here is the location by what3words: ///frames.familiar.songbirds Surprised by the inability to find these potholes as position is clearly marked on map and potholes seen by another NCC inspector who happened to be passing this morning. Potholes are increasing in size and farm vehicles are now driving on verges in order to avoid. There is mud all over the road, blocking drains. I repeatedly ask for consideration that this short stretch of tarmaced road be properly repaired and extended and have requested meetings. Never an answer. Can this be tried again?

  • Heavy farming lorry traffic is trying to avoid the potholes by driving on verges. Despite marking the road, the lorries are encroaching more or more on verge either side of the deep potholes.

  • These photos show one of the lorries that are now using this stretch of road. The holes are getting bigger and you can see the road is now covered with mud after the lorries are using the verge to avoid th potholes. Your time line of two months does not reflect the seriousness of this situation
