Tarmac failed on 3 sides of metal gulley grate, hence very dangerous pothole, exposed metal with sharp vertical edges that are 4 inches tall. Yellow highlighter pen is in the photos for scale. I have placed the PIN as best as I can guess, but this is not a duplication of pothole reference no 5198257. The location is after a blind bend that doens't give a an unwary motorist much opportunity spot the pothole, let alone safely avoid it. Thank you

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.
