Large, car damaging pothole

Reported via mobile in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 19:06, Sunday 18 January 2026

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8715613.

Potholes, either side of the road, almost impossible to avoid as it's a single track road. There were repaired about 6 months ago, but are as bad again now as before they were repaired

  • Pothole getting bigger by the day. Now other holes around original hole. Dangerous as impossible to avoid and now full of water, so just looks like a puddle

  • Potholes getting worse by the day. Several potholes each measuring more than 60cm by 30cms and at least 10cm deep. Now full of water so just looks like puddles, however as people are now trying to avoid them, and avoid damaging their cars, they are now resorting to driving on the grass verges. If a car hits one of these at anything more than 10mph, they will lose a tyre or worse! Single track road, so almost impossible to avoid. URGENT ACTION NEEDED and not another email advising that it will be investigated in the next 5 days!!

  • This can’t be classed as a hole anymore- both sides of the road are seriously damaged and over 6inches deep A serious accident will occur is the whole road isn’t dealt with Chacombe is surrounded by hills, water pours down the road like rivers- it needs deep ditches with maintained gullies are regularly intervals to get the water off of the road

  • - West Northants Council advised on 18th Jan that this would be investigated within 5 days, then - on 23rd January West Northants Council advised that it would be investigated week commencing 23rd January, then - on 2nd February West Northants again advised that it would be investigated in 5 days. This road is almost impassable now. It doesn't seem to matter how often we update, the Council aren't even investigating!!!
