Numerous new potholes along the whole road

Reported via mobile in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 08:02, Sunday 18 January 2026 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8711522.

The recent rain/snow has made the road worse and created more potholes. The road needs resurfacing rather than potholes being filled in which then reappear over time.
