There is a deep pothole in the carriageway (travelling from Sundridge to Mottingham Lane) on Elmstead Lane adjacent to the garden of 1 Wood Drive.

Reported via mobile in the Road Defect category anonymously at 13:11, Monday 3 August 2026 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9889986.

The pothole is about 2ft X 3ft and cannot be avoided due to the position of a permanent refuge post in the middle of the road. The hole is about 3ins deep. As one is climbing and picking up speed at that point it is dangerous and has caused damage to our left shock absorber spring. We do not intend to make any claim but beg you to fix it ASAP. Thank you
