Two deep potholes in road, (one of which my tyre went into this morning)

Reported via Android in the Road Potholes category anonymously at 15:37, Tuesday 14 January 2025

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 417019.

I leave to get to work at 7.30amand so I am driving in low light in the morning. Was unable to see the potholes and my driver side front tyre went into the first of two deep potholes along this stretch of road. I have previously had to replace tyres due to pothole issues in Dunstable and am getting sick of it! Don't understand why the roads can't be maintained as a matter or course! Infuriating!
