The road has sunk all the way across

Reported via desktop in the Road surface (NH) category anonymously at 14:49, Tue 15 July 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7881522.

The road has sunk like there is a sink hole underneath and its causing damage to vehicles suspensions. It is also dangerous as vehicles are slamming the brakes on when they approach it nearly causing an accident. The lorries have to slow down to 5mph to go over it as there is such a dip. It has been like this for several months and is getting worse.
