Dangerous pothole around a drain cover

Reported via mobile in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 17:01, Tuesday 3 February 2026 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8831061.

Halfway between Dagnell Farm and Deanshanger on the left hand side of the road is a deep pothole surrounding a corner of a drain hole cover. When cars drive over the cover there is a distinct noise of movement of the cover itself. Unable to take photographs as it is too dangerous just to stop in the middle of the road. It has been there for approximately 2 weeks
