Large Pothole by Edge of Manhole Cover

Reported via desktop in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 12:32, Wednesday 14 January 2026

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8686458.

Reporting this pothole once again as it continues to grow in size and depth but has not yet been accepted as a defect.

As you will see the pothle is now rather large is size and depth and a bicycle wheel and possibly some motorcycle wheels can fit inside it making it very dangeorus.

Additionally it has exposed the corner of a cast iron manhole cover which highly increases the risk of damage to vehicle tyres.

Please can the area around the manhole cover have a patch resurfacing repair carried out
