Severe potholes on roadside

Reported via desktop in the Road surface (NH) category anonymously at 14:12, Thursday 26 February 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9005032.

There is a series of 3/4 severe potholes on the turnoff from the A1 southbound carriageway into Newton Villa meaning turning off with vehicles and machinery is slow and dangerous. A batch of plainings would fix the job. The problem is right on the edge of the carriageway before it goes into private land.
