A pothole in road problem
Reported in the A pothole in road category by Gloucestershire County Council at 13:44, Tuesday 27 January 2026
FixMyStreet ref: 9044068.
On Sunday 25 January at approximately 12:30, I was driving on the A424 and struck a pothole at the following location:
Latitude: 51.9139396676382
Longitude: -1.7233177868861405
As a result of this impact, my tyre was damaged and required replacement. I had the tyre replaced later that day in London at a cost of £185.00.
I am attaching photographs of the damaged tyre and proof of payment. I will forward the formal invoice as soon as it is provided to me by the tyre replacement service.
Please let me know if you require any further information to progress this claim.

This pothole report has now been passed to the Safety Inspection Team for assessment.
A safety inspector will make an assessment of the work needed and they will consider a number of factors, including the flow of traffic and the size of the pothole.
If repair work is required, the pothole will either be classed as urgent or will be put into a planned programme of works to ensure it is repaired as efficiently as possible. We aim to complete the repair work within 28 days.
In some cases a temporary repair will be needed, to make the area safe, then engineers will return to make a permanent repair.
An update on the outcome of the safety inspection will be provided.
