At least 10 large potholes

Reported via mobile in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 10:18, Wed 17 December 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8558504.

This section of road needs urgent repair. A temporary pothole fix has already failed. I hit two potholes this morning. This road is heavily used as a shortcut. Cars are swerving to avoid potholes in the middle and to the edge of the road. A serious accident will happen. The council have a duty of care to maintain roads. A team must be dispatched to this road ASAP before we are reporting a serious road incident.

Updates

  • Thank you for reporting a fault. Officers will now investigate the concerns and this may take up to 5 working days. If you believe that your concerns are urgent then please phone us.

  • This was promised to be fixed in November. Closure warning signs were put up, but no work was done. We were then told it would be done in December, but no reason was given for the delay. Please tell us when a proper repair job will be undertaken, and the sooner the better.

  • Good morning, I recently drove through this road, on Monday 8th December, hit one of these pot holes, and burst a tyre. Had to wait until 8pm for RAC to come out help me with a spare. Please can this be looked at ASAP.
