  • This has become more severe, probably due to agricultural vehicles using the road consistently throughout the year. Yesterday evening 30/01/2026, this pothole cause damage beyond repair to both my tyres on the passenger side of my vehicle. This needs urgent attention as it is a serious danger to road users. This entire road needs inspection and repair.

  • Further damage has occurred at this location. On 28th February at approximately 13:05, my vehicle suffered an immediate tyre blowout to the nearside front tyre after striking this defect. The alloy wheel was subsequently found to be cracked and unusable. The condition of the road surface continues to pose a risk to road users.
