A pothole on the b416 caused a flat tire meaning i needed an emergency repair, which as you can imagine, wasn't cheap. I was traveling south and the passenger side front wheel hit the hole. the hole was around the location pinned but i cannot be 100% accurate as this was a 8pm xmas eve and there was no where safe to pull over due to poor lighting so needed to pull into the next town so assess the issue correctly

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.
