Significant trench developing across entrance to slip road

Reported via iOS in the Road surface (NH) category anonymously at 08:35, Thu 12 June 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7697538.

A significant trench is developing at the entrance to the slip road. Hitting it in a car results in a spine-jarring jolt.

Updates

  • There is a terrible dip across the slip road heading south bound that must be damaging vehicles. It’s completely invisible and unavoidable as you accelerate down to the motorway (possibly in part due to following vehicles), and no signs warning you of a problem either. I’d be surprised if the suspension on my BMW hasn’t been damaged, a service and MOT coming up therefore you might have an extra bill! I see you were notified in June, why hasn’t anything been done??

  • I hit this pot hole a couple of weeks ago and it knocked the alignment out on my steering and caused the steering wheel to wobble.

  • I see this has been reported again at the end of November 2025, with an allegation of damage to the vehicle that traversed it. Get your act together, Highways England!
