Pothole

Reported via mobile in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 17:00, Wednesday 28 January 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8789580.

Large pothole caused us to have a tyre blow out! I can’t understand why you haven’t resurfaced this stretch of the A56 when you’ve done the section from the Tesco junction and up at the Rising Bridge end, but not this bit in between! I see this has been previously reported on 20th January, when that person had a try re blow out; today is the 28th and we’ve had a blow out. These holes are huge which seems unacceptable when traffic is going to be travelling at 70mph.
