Pothole in same place

Reported via mobile in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 21:17, Thursday 26 March 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9195110.

This lane wide pothole has been reported and "repaired" multiple times over the last year has yet again not lasted. The "repair" has got a huge hole in it approx 8 inches less than 4 weeks after the latest attempt. Not only that but on the same roundabout there are great splits along the edges of the lanes on the roundabout between the kettering exit and a14 eastbound exit that are approx 5metres in length and worsening by the day that whoever attempted to repair the original pothole would have had to drive over to reach it and ignored them. Absolutely appalling that multiple repairs on a busy roundabout linking 2 major carriageways have failed repeatedly and the people carrying out the work have ignored blatantly obvious dangerous breaks in the tarmac.

  • Thank you for making your report. We have asked our inspection team to attend this location and assess the issue.

    If any work is needed, they will arrange for this to happen. Should no immediate work be required we will continue to monitor this during our regular inspections.

    Although we always aim to complete repairs as quickly as possible, timescales do vary as we try to minimise disruption to customers by combining activities into single closures and always ensuring the safety of our people.

    Kind regards National Highways
