Pothole on M5 under M4 lane 1
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5669120.
I've reported this pothole before and have been blatantly ignored as I rang up and there is no trace of the conversation and I wanted it in writing. This pothole caused eggs in both my front tyres a couple months back, the lane was shut and then reopened and no action had been taken to sort the pothole. I heard last night that another friend of mine hit the pothole and has damaged the suspension on their car. If this is not sorted, there is a danger to life for motorcyclists and to have ignored warnings about this is shocking. I have this in writing in the unfortunate event that that occurs, that you have ignored blatant warnings and have taken no action. I will also be taking a screenshot of this message incase this is "Removed" for being inappropriate.

Agree, the narrow lanes make potholes like this unavoidable. They seem to ignore them because there's already roadworks going on. Southbound M5 under the M4 also has a large section of broken tarmac that I've reported.
