Still 5 holes in the centre of the street by the Tine Pits pond. Has been like this for over a month and on a bend, and as drivers swerve to miss the holes it is made it more dangerous to drive.

I understand these potholes have been reported several times yet nothing appears to be happening. They are increasingly difficult to spot while driving as tge brighter days bring dappled shade to the location of the worst two. Today I experienced a bone shaking 'drop' into one, I'm not sure yet if my car has escaped damage. Yesterday I was almost hit by a car coming towards me as the driver weaved to avoid one. It's literally (and I am using the word 'literally' correctly here ) only a matter of time till there is a head on collision, let alone cars being damaged. Please do something..
