Noted in December 2025 - still there and getting worse. Approx 40cm x 40cm x 10cm (deep) extending far enough from kerb that it is difficult to avoid on a bike without swerving out into overtaking traffic. Reported a near-identical hole in this location in November 2023 (Cycling UK Hazard #199092) which was patched, but clearly not properly as it has reappeared so soon.

    Now "filled" in so far as a patch has been applied to the patchwork of existing patches. I'd give this two years at most before being back here again.

  • Looks like another temporary repair!

  • My understanding is ruptures like this need a more substantial ‘cut out and fill’ repair. Or might indicate that the whole section of road needs resurfacing. And temporary repairs like this are a false economy. But, seriously, what do I know.
