Most potholes are deep and wide enough to fulfill your requirements to repair. Very large potholes centrally and others surrounding them. It is not possible to stay in lane at any point along that stretch and is an accident waiting to happen. I have reported these previously as have others with no action taken. In your reply you state you take safety seriously however that is not true. This road is unsafe for all users and as one of the main roads off the hill down to the village should be given urgent attention. Totally sick of lack of attention and next step is an email to Council Chief Exec.

This has been passed to the local area technician to investigate the enquiry/issue regarding a pothole/road surface.
During winter months we receive a very high number of reports regarding potholes or a poor road surface, it's easy to assume that potholes are formed due to roads being poorly maintained but that is not usually the case. There are many factors that can cause potholes, particularly during the winter months when water seeps in through cracks in the road surface, collecting underneath and when the water freezes, it expands and creates cracks in the road surface.
Our priority is always the safety of road users, so in some cases during busy periods a permanent repair is not always possible immediately. However, temporary repairs are a way to ensure the area is safe until such times as we can return to make a permanent repair.
