Dangerous pothole located in the centre of the road at the junction of Church Hill, Anerley Road and Westow Hill (Crystal Palace), particularly hazardous when turning onto Church Hill.

I hit this pothole on my bike today while following a car around the bend. It is positioned in a blind spot and not visible in time to avoid safely. The impact caused an immediate tyre puncture and could easily have resulted in a serious accident.

This presents a significant danger to both cyclists and vehicles and requires urgent repair.
