Very large and deep pothole

Reported via mobile in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 08:03, Wednesday 4 February 2026

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8833515.

Unable to avoid pothole now without drifting into on coming traffic on the other side of the road. Just before you enter Creaton. In fact further back along the road there are numerous potholes getting worse by the day and drivers are now swerving and zig zagging to avoid them.

  • Very large and dangerous pothole as you come towards the village towards Northampton. It's in the middle of the road and getting larger by the day. Daily there are damaged cars parked nearby from this. Its a matter of time before they cause a serious accident.

  • The potholes remain present despite this report now being over 13 days old. The initial response advised a 5-day timeframe, which has not been met. I am concerned that continued inaction may constitute negligence, as vehicles are now being damaged. Please provide an update, as the potholes are worsening and becoming deeper and wider
