Sink hole getting worse

Reported via mobile in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 10:15, Sunday 31 May 2026 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9533866.

Outside 53 Norton Road , ongoing problem with sinkhole , not being dealt with quick enough, causing water ingress to neighbouring properties and leaving me worried if it get worse could have serious issues to foundations, its ridiculous to think how the highways agency thought scooping off a layer of tarmac and then relaying some tarmac would repair a clearly bigger issue. It needs sorting ASAP or the papers will be informed
