Multiple potholes

Reported via mobile in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 18:46, Sunday 15 February 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8926023.

Multiple large potholes that run along the Barford Road that runs alongside the A1. Because of major roadworks on the A1 Black Cat Roundabout, traffic is often diverted along this road which literally has multiple potholes both carriageways, some as wide and long as over 12 inches. Becoming a serious hazard to motorists especially at night or in rainy conditions. This has been evident for well over a month, getting worse. Tonight at 5.30 due to heavy rain, l was going slow at 25mph but still hit a pothole, causing a puncture to my front right tyre.
