Severe potholes on westbound A27 past Grinstead Lane roundabout
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 2641667.
There are a number of deep and wide potholes on the left side of the left lane of the westbound A27, just past the Grinstead Lane/Manor Road roundabout. Cars swerve into the right lane to avoid them and they are deep and wide enough to cause serious harm to cyclists. I have travelled infrequently on this road over the past few months and they never appear to be fixed which surprises me given how serious the damage and danger is - and the fact I can see you've had complaints previously.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.

Thank you for contacting Highways England about the condition of the A27 carriageway along Upper Brighton Road, Lancing.
We are aware of this and urgent patching works are currently being planned to address to determination prior to planned resurfacing works in our forward programme for the financial year 2022/23. In the meantime we carry out weekly safety inspections, when any defects are recorded and suitable mitigation planned.
Safety defects are attended to and made safe within 24 hours and any permanent repairs that are required are then carried out within 28 days. Service defects are less severe and are further categorised into high or low priority. Service high defects will aim to be repaired within 6 months, whereas service low defects are monitored and placed into future programme of works and bid for funding.
Kind regards Highways England
