Potholes

Reported via mobile in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 13:12, Sun 15 January 2023

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4131280.

I reported this problem a few weeks ago and it has been ignored or not deemed to be a priority. There are multiple very deep potholes on this slip way. As you know the slipway is very short 150ft of useful distance to get to 30 as you come around the corner to at least 60 to match traffic speed and enters onto a very busy section of road at peak times especially. It is very dangerous to be trying to enter this road whilst looking over you shoulder and having giant holes in front of you that will stop your momentum and possible cause traction issues. Please can you acknowledge this need sorting before there are broken wheels and accidents. There is no hard shoulder here or a safe place to stop (for 1 mile) should the wheel be damaged and the tyre goes flat.
