Two large deep pot holes

Reported via desktop in the Pothole large category anonymously at 16:17, Wednesday 14 January 2026

Sent to Bristol City Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8688495.

There are two extremely large and deep potholes in the centre of Henshaw Road, approximately 20 yards apart. ( right near Henshaw walk ) They are directly in the wheel line and cannot be avoided, especially when vehicles are parked or oncoming traffic is present.

These potholes have clearly developed over time and have not appeared overnight. They present a serious hazard to vehicles and cyclists and are particularly dangerous at night and in wet weather, when they are difficult to see until it is too late.

Given their size, depth, and close proximity, this stretch of road requires urgent inspection and repair
