Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8879471.

Today, 09/02/26, drive in the inside lane of the slip road accelerating up to motorway speed. Metal grid / pothole caused my tire to explode. Clean slice / gouge on a new tire in the center of the tire. This road needs fixing asap.
