There is a pot whole on the side road entering the properties on grove lane. I have had a flat tire due to these pot holes whilst entering the property. I am now having to spend £210, to get a new tire, which has caused me taking a day off work to order and sort the tire issue out as well as be out of pocket.

The roads are uneven throughout, and have been for some time.

Updates

  • 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.
