Very Dangerous Potholes

Reported via desktop in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 06:39, Mon 28 August 2023

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4932657.

First, this dangerous set of potholes has been reported before. If anything has been done about it then it ranks as a very poor job.

I have repeatedly experienced drivers hastily trying to avoid what is in essence a section of the road which has nothing but potholes. Drivers attempt to cross onto the other lane, in itself a slip road coming off the A12 on a blind corner.

These potholes are so bad one has to slow down to 10-15 mph (on a 50mph road) to avoid losing control and/or damaging tyres & wheels.

This section can no longer be classified as a road - it is a set of interconnected potholes.

Do something about it before there is a serious accident.
