I have just hit the forementioned pothole on my motorcycle and I nearly crashed in front of approaching traffic. This pothole is extremely dangerous and needs fixing before somebody gets hurt.

This pot hole is still there, very deep, dangerous, not marked and reported need of Jan!

Still there, very deep, very dangerous. I can’t understand how this could be given priority 4. For motorcyclist there is a risk to life and for motorists severe damage.

On 14.2.26, this deep pothole caused a blowout on my front tyre causing me to pull over in the right hand and limp onto the pedestrian traffic island and await the AA to replace my tyre. Extremely dangerous.
