Huge

Reported via iOS in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 21:30, Tuesday 3 February 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8832502.

HUGE pothole. Reported weeks ago, yet still there and bigger. Hit this evening, as couldn’t see it due to darkness and water on the road. If a motorcyclist hits that hole they will in no doubt be ejected from their bike. The noise that came from my car when hitting it was tremendous, I am surprised the wheel is still attached to my car. I was behind a horse lorry so was in no way speeding when hitting it either. This needs to be a priority to be fixed before someone is seriously hurt
