Banbury Road ,Chacombe is a mess on both sides

Reported via desktop in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 09:01, Monday 19 January 2026 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8717383.

Old potholes keep coming up and new potholes occur right next to 'fixed' ones. The only way to safely avoid the potholes on the whole of this road is to drive down the centre - treating the road as a single lane track- except it is not safe when a car is coming at speed towards you trying to avoid the damaged road too! The road now needs proper repairs not a temporary patch. Chance of damaging tyres/wheels 90%. Why are the repairs to this road so bad?
