Pothole on the Airport Spur before Jct 5 of the M56

Reported via desktop in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 09:58, Thursday 15 January 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8692258.

Large pothole on the Airport Spur before Jct 5 of the M56. There is a slip road coming down from the airport and the pothole is on the white line where vehicles have to move lanes in order to get into the lane to join the M56 at Jct 5. The pothole is difficult to avoid as you need to move lanes whilst watching for traffic coming down the slip road from the airport.
