Incorrect closure again of outstanding problem

Reported via desktop in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 18:28, Thursday 15 January 2026 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8696608.

THIS IS NOW THE THIRD TIME I AM TRYING TO REPORT THIS ISSUE - IT IS NOT A DUPLICATE TO REPORT REF. 8498413 or 8672689 - IT IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ISSUE AT A TOTALLY DIFFERENT LOCATION!! I reported this previously again under your Ref. 8498413 but you have incorrectly closed it AGAIN as a duplicate. I therefore report for the third time the following issue - There is a deep, jagged edge on the road edge where it abuts of the entrance to Forest Close and due to the large vehicles that you meet going in the opposite way on the public highway, you are forced onto the edge of the highway and your tyres would be ripped open by this deep & jagged drop on the road edge. Please arrange to repair ASAP and if you try and close it again, I will put in a formal complaint about your incompetent system of logging reports
