Another victim of this monster pothole on lane heading toward Mursley. This is my 2nd issue in this area in last 2 weeks so have decided to report it (despite others doing so previously). I decided to not claim on 1st as tyre was due to be replaced anyway but this has ruined a brand new tyre with less than 60 miles on it.
From other reports it would seem the issue has been there several days (but I didn't know as I use this route infrequently and, at this time of year, only in the dark when the 'warning' marks on the road are invisible).

This has been passed to the local area technician to investigate the enquiry/issue regarding a pothole/road surface.
During winter months we receive a very high number of reports regarding potholes or a poor road surface, it's easy to assume that potholes are formed due to roads being poorly maintained but that is not usually the case. There are many factors that can cause potholes, particularly during the winter months when water seeps in through cracks in the road surface, collecting underneath and when the water freezes, it expands and forces up the road surface in through cracks in the road surface.
Our priority is always the safety of road users, so in some cases during busy periods a permanent repair is not always possible immediately. However, temporary repairs are a way to ensure the area is safe until such times as we can return to make a permanent repair.
