Multiple potholes / road cracks

Reported via desktop in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 11:38, Tuesday 17 February 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8938274.

Road surface issue on the A453 heading from Junction 24 towards Nottingham, just before reaching the power station. There is a significant stretch of road with multiple potholes, cracks, and areas where the surface is breaking apart. The condition of this section appears to be deteriorating rapidly, with parts of the carriageway visibly crumbling. This presents a potential safety risk to motorists, particularly at higher speeds, and may lead to vehicle damage if not addressed promptly. I respectfully request that this section of road be inspected as a matter of urgency and that appropriate repairs be carried out. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
