Uneven surface and potholes forming

Reported via desktop in the Road surface (NH) category anonymously at 23:11, Mon 14 July 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7877254.

I reported this to you several months ago, and the problems have not been rectified. They are worse now than when I first reported them, but National Highways have chosen not to repair them. This results in residents being woken throughout the night by empty HGVs bouncing on the uneven road surface - as has just happened to me. I went to bed early - I need to get some sleep. Five minutes ago I was woken by the extremely loud noise created by an empty artic trailer being pulled over the terrible road surface. Sooner or later something is going to happen - a cyclist or motorcyclist is going to be brought down by the holes and defects in the road surface, and when this happens I will be the first one to tell the injured party's solicitor and/or the police about my reporting the problem to NH several months ago.
