This pothole has caused my tyre to blow out on this road leaving me stranded dangerously on the hard shoulder of the a1 in freezing weather conditions

  • On Wednesday 25th January 2023 approaching turn off at Baldock Services. My wheel hit a deep pothole causing a blowout, costing me £205 to repair, and could not be repaired until the next day which made me late for work. This was still unprepared a week later. If you wish I can forward some photos.

  • I have Driven over this twice now,after been forced over it due to bollards closing the A1 junction in the evening. As its dark and cars travel at minimumvof 50mph you stand no chance of avoiding the pothole. Im very lucky it did not actually take my tyre of its that bad . If a motorcyclist hits it ,i could well cause a fatallity . This pothole needs to be fixed quickly.
