+12 inch dia. Deep, unavoidable and dangerous potholes
Reported via mobile in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 10:00, Wednesday 28 January 2026
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8784962.
There is a section between two points on this road where there are at least 10+ large diameter (10-20 inch) potholes, most of which are between 4-6 inches in depth. Almost all of them are unavoidable and extremely dangerous likely resulting in damage to vehicles and possible injuries if unable to evade.
I have listed the two point locations using "what3words" below: ///groups.trail.hungry ///lime.blur.second
Requires immediate intervention to prevent damages, injury and potential loss of life resulting from loss of vehicle control upon impact.
No images attached as stopping was not possible or safe to do so with the current condition of the road.
