Series of large and deep-looking Potholes

Reported via Android in the Pothole (NH) category by Andrew Lawton at 17:17, Wednesday 21 January 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8737593.

Main A5 carriageway, westbound, across both lanes 1 and 2. Situated between the A453 junction and where one lane closes at the start of the contraflow. The entire breath of both lanes are littered with loads of deep large potholes, badly need filling / resurfacing. Cars are swerving to miss this series of holes at the last minute.

  • Thank you for making your report. We have asked our inspection team to attend this location and assess the issue.

    If any work is needed, they will arrange for this to happen. Should no immediate work be required we will continue to monitor this during our regular inspections.

    Although we always aim to complete repairs as quickly as possible, timescales do vary as we try to minimise disruption to customers by combining activities into single closures and always ensuring the safety of our people.

    Kind regards National Highways
