Potholes. M56 Westbound before Jct 7

Reported via desktop in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 17:05, Tuesday 3 March 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9039452.

Large number of potholes on the third lane between Jct 6 and Jct 7 of the M56 Westbound. These potholes are left over from the installation of the smart motorway. There are a whole line of potholes where the white lines used to be. The whole section needs resurfacing asap. Vehicles are swaying left to avoid them so very dangerous to road users as well as the high chance of damage to vehicles.
