My car hit this hole with both front and back wheels causing severe impact. I am taking the car to the garage for inspection. Incident today at 14.59. Extremely high danger of a cyclist or motorcycle falling off.

  • I narrowly avoided this hole on my bike. This is more akin to a sink hole than a pot hole and needs fixing urgently as it is a genuine risk. If a bike wheel goes in then it is likely the rider is going over their handle bars.

  • Nine days after the report of this lethal pothole you “close” the case. It still hasn’t been fixed. Riders on two wheels are seriously at risk. This should be your priority. Imagine your legal bill if someone is seriously hurt.
