Work marked as "fixed" not actually done

Reported via Android in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 14:27, Saturday 31 January 2026

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8808626.

Reported the state of this road under FixMyStreet ref: 8701316, which was flagged as "fixed" about 20 minutes after being marked as " in progress" today, 31st January 2026. No work has been done and the road is pretty dangerous to motorists, cyclists, horse riders, and just about anyone else who might use it - full of potholes, sunken road surface, great gouges and lumps that'll rip someone's exhaust system off! What a total farce and failure. Glad I pay my tax, vehicle excise duty, council tax etc and see such poor levels of return. Go back and actually do some repairs
