This pothole and another one is failing already. It won’t be long before it’s extremely dangerous again. Please re assess.

This stretch of road is getting very dangerous with some "car killer" pot holes that will cause serious vehicle damage or an accident if anyone hits these. If there was a lot of rain, these would be masked and risk being hit multiple times. I drive this road every Tuesday and week after week they are getting worse despite multiple reports along this stretch.

Agree, there are some small but deep and sharp edged potholes close to the bend here. We have already had one damaged wheel and tyre as a result. To avoid, you need to drift on wrong side of road. This is a fast stretch and incredibly dangerous. Some of the other potholes along here have been addressed but the remaining ones are getting worse by the day

This road is so dangerous the potholes are absolutely massive you can't see the bottom of them, massive craters in the road and can cause some serious damage to life and cars. Having to steer on the other side of a very busy road to avoid and has been like this for weeks and continues to be getting worse and worse. I don't even want to drive this road anymore its getting to bad
