Investigating
Multiple large potholes through to substrate
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8535470.
The condition of this road is extremely poor and there are several areas where large permanent repairs are urgently needed. Whilst this reports limits me to three photographs, I could submit several more.

These potholes are now enormous and present a real danger to all road users. They are deep enough to cause severe damage to vehicles and injury to pedestrians, cyclists, horses, dogs etc. Urgent remedial works are needed on the full length of this road.

West Northamptonshire Council is committed to maintaining safe and reliable roads, but it isn’t possible to repair every pothole immediately. The council must prioritise repairs based on available budget, workforce capacity, and the need to address the most safety critical defects first. All decisions are guided by the Highway Inspection Manual, which sets out how road defects are assessed and the timescales for repair. This ensures that resources are used responsibly and that the highest risk issues, such as those posing a danger to road users, are dealt with as quickly as possible while lower risk defects are scheduled appropriately within the limits of available funding.
