There are two large potholes on the A34 southbound close to the parking area just before the Chilton exit.
The first is shown in the photo. Apologies for the poor quality. This is located in the middle of the road just before reaching the parking area. The area is quite large, and looks like a failed road repair which now has potholes within the larger pothole. The larger pothole cannot be seen clearly in the photo.
A second pothole is located in the middle of the carriageway, but this one is closer to the middle of the parking area.
Both potholes represent a hazard and need urgent assessment

Not only are these potholes not fixed, but as I drive past the first of the two potholes (i.e. the one just before the one level with the middle of the parking area), I sometimes see cars travelling at 70mph making sudden evasive maneuvers. Issues need assessing and repair ASAP.

There may be good reasons why these potholes have not been fixed, in which case some feedback would be really helpful.
Not Fixed.

There seems to have been some sort of potential "repair" at the pothole adjacent to the parking area, although the "repair" is not smooth. However, the pothole **before** reaching the parking area (mid-carriageway) certainly still needs addressing, and has now been joined by a third in the outide lane in a similar sort of area.

Potholes still remain in various guises.
If they are not deemed worthy of repairing, then useful to be told this.
Note the last entry saying there is now a 3rd pothole before the parking area.
