Two potholes on southbound side of Newbury Hill
These are becoming a tourist attraction! They certainly make good spectator sport. They're obviously popular as they're reported regularly and have been treated several times to lovely white paint outlines by the Highways department, leading locals to believe a fix was imminent. Ever been had! Three times now they've been outlined & three times they've been left so the paint's worn away.
These two holes are precisely a car's wheel width apart & dodging them isn't easy, especially given the parking on the other side of the road. I have seen two vehicles scrape the wall whilst attempting to avoid them.
May we please have them filled in once & for all? It'd save a fortune in repeated trips out to look at them, not to mention the cost of the paint.

I'm not entirely sure, although I have my suspicions, why this has been moved to fixed. In no way has this been fixed! Perhaps there should be a new category 'ignored' into which the council could put all the repairs they can't be bothered to make. At least it would be honest rather than the mendacious claptrap they're giving us now!
