The pot hole is located approx 200 yards before junction 23 in between the first and second lane

Reported via mobile in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 22:01, Fri 22 August 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8063065.

The pot hole is very deep, I hit the pot hole as I was moving lanes from the second to The first to come off the motorway at junction 23. The pothole was that deep I had a blow out and my wheel was damaged along with my tyre. I have had to have the wheel fixed and a new tyre which has cost me £235. I have video evidence of the damage and I would like compensating for this damage. This could have been dangerous having a deflated tyre on a motorway. I’m lucky my tyre was a run flat and allowed me to keep driving.
