Lots of large potholes

Reported via mobile in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 09:06, Saturday 28 June 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7777061.

There are lots of shallow but wide potholes on the road on the right carriageway (on the side nearest to the a38 slip road)

I haven’t been able to take a photo due to driving, however they’ve been there a considerable time. I’ve included a google maps image from last year where you can actually see where the potholes are, they’ve got worse since then. I’d say there’s at least 3 or 4 but maybe more. Usually I stay in the left lane before needing to go in the right lane so I can avoid them, but it would be helpful for them to be repaired, I can imagine it’s a pain when there’s a lot of traffic backed up as you’d need to get in lane pretty fast so wouldn’t be able to avoid them.

Thank you
