  • 21.4.26 this collection of potholes is getting larger and deeper. It's becoming impossible to avoid them and serious damage will occur to vehicles. They are particularly dangerous to cyclists and motorcyclists trying to navigate the junction.

  • This pot hole is still there and my car has received damage to the shock absorber resulting in emergency work having to be carried out and both shock absorbers being replaced. This pothole was first reported in February and it now means I have had to pay out for the council not fixing the road.
