Full width pothole

Reported via desktop in the Road Surface category anonymously at 10:24, Friday 6 September 2024

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 411064.

This area was marked in yellow and "FDR" by the "joint sealing" team a number of weeks ago. This area has significantly deteriorated over the past month due to the hap-hazard way the team worked to clear the road surface. There is now a large amount of damaged road surface here, probably 1 ft x 4 ft, a number of inches deep. As heavy vehicles like busses drive through this damaged area it is making multiple houses shake.

Please repair this ASAP.

Don't fob me off with "Maintenance work is planned for this area and the issue will be resolved as part of these works.". If you put that in your close message I'll know for a fact you haven't actually read anything here.

If further works are scheduled, please provide dates? There are no works planned showing on the one.network site.

There are also outstanding works from the joint sealing project that the team still have outstanding. Will they be returning? When?
