Multiple small potholes in Lane 2

Reported via mobile in the Pothole (NH) category by Angela J at 00:41, Thursday 1 January 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8611729.

Within the last mile towards J17 coming from Holmes Chapel J18, there are numerous small potholes in Lane 2 (these appear systematically spaced apart along this stretch) this caused the car to thud when driving over these. This then causes the driver's attention to look at the road instead of the traffic to try to avoid. These either need plugging as soon as possible or try to resurface soon. The road covering in Lane 2 appeared to be a different colour to Lane 1.
