  • This needs to be fixed urgently, the holes are very deep and unavoidable, I have to come to stop and go on wrong side of the road to avoid (my car has large, low-profile run flat tyres that can get damaged extremely easily, which costs me £180 a time!)

  • This long gauge is still there! There's several smaller holes near by too. The safest thing to do now is slow down to around 30Mph so that you can be sure it is safe on the other side, to go around this hole. I know when I'm heading in the opposite direction I have to also slow, because there's a high chance there's people on my side of the road avoiding this pot hole. I'm surprised there hasn't been an accident yet. I'm also surprised this was raised back in December and hasn't been fixed, when it's such a bad pothole, in such a problematic position. Does someone need to die before this is fixed?

  • This was reported in December 2025 and has not yet been fixed (April 2026). The potholes are getting larger and deeper and are forcing cars into oncoming traffic on a bend.

  • These great holes in the road are still there, to avoid damaging your car you have to drive on the opposite side of the road which is on a blind bend. If there is oncoming traffic you have to stop to let it pass, any traffic behind you that isn’t aware of why you have stopped either goes into the back of you or tries to overtake!! Accidents waiting to happen!

    Unsurprisingly this has failed! This could kill a motorcyclist!
