There is a dangerous pothole on Banbury Lane a short distance before turning at Thenford to Thorpe Mandeville

Reported via iOS in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 08:39, Saturday 17 January 2026

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8706702.

My car tyre was damaged when driving on the highway at 16:45hrs on 16/01/26 caused by this pothole. The tyre went flat straight away which I could feel through the steering but in addition the sensor on my dashboard alerted me. I pulled off road to a slightly safer position and called the AA. I was rescued after 3.5 hours.
