Pothole, M53 before Jct 7 Northbound

Show reporter’s name

Reported via desktop in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 16:56, Tuesday 3 March 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9039386.

Very large pothole in the second lane of the M53 just before jct 7 Northbound. The pothole covers most of the lane. Very difficult to avoid as it is on a bend in the road, so you don’t see it until late. Will cause damage to vehicles or an accident if not repaired asap. It is just before the slip road onto the B5132.
