Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8555716.

Narrow road-forced on the the left hand side due to road being narrow. damaged road surface extending into carriage way. Result is two nearside types deflated - managed to Mae it to Naseby but unable to return journey. One tyre may be changed but not two!. Had to pay for 120 for recovery to Westaway Spratton by Regal Car Recovery Leicester/Northampton. Westaway Spratton will check tyre damage (rear nearside totally flat and not inflatable the front nearside lower pressure but might be ok) while servicing the car - not part of this.
