Deep Pothole - burst my tyre

Reported via mobile in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 19:41, Monday 6 April 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9247501.

I am submitting a claim for £150 to reimburse the emergency tyre replacement cost caused by a deep pothole on your road.

The pothole was dangerously deep and caused my tyre to burst immediately on impact, leaving the vehicle unsafe to drive. As a result, I had to arrange an on-the-spot emergency tyre replacement costing £150 so I could continue my journey safely.

I believe the damage was caused directly by the poor road condition and request reimbursement of the full amount paid. I can provide the receipt, photos of the damaged tyre, and the exact pothole location in support of this claim
