Sent to West Northamptonshire Council 15 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 8699905.
A series of previous repairs and one has broken up leaving it very dangerous as it's just after a blind left hand bend(travelling away from Creaton towards Welford) where traffic coming towards you is often right on the centre white line as they are negotiating a bend to the right making it very difficult to avoid.

The potholes remain present despite this report now being over 1 month old. The initial response advised a 5-day timeframe, which has not been met. I am concerned that continued inaction may constitute negligence, as vehicles are now being damaged. Please provide an update, as the potholes are worsening and becoming deeper and wider
