Investigating
Huge broken up area of road
Reported via mobile in the Potholes / Highway Condition category by Claire Sultana at 19:10, Tue 9 December 2025
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8525414.
Just as you turn off the A5 there is a huge area of road that needs attention. It’s very dangerous as turning off a 60mph road on a tight turn and then having to try to avoid this damaged piece of road as well. The whole road from A5 through Astcote needs relaying!

26weeks to repair a really defective part of the road right at the turning off from the A5 which is a dangerous turning as it’s so tight anyway. Not really a great response. The whole road needs relaying but repairing the large potholes all along would be a start
