Reported via desktop in the Road Potholes category anonymously at 12:00, Friday 28 March 2025
Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 421230.
The entire length of the road is severely affected by deep potholes, and where previous repairs were made, they have reopened, creating even more damage. The road is now dangerous to drive on, with vehicles being severely impacted as they pass over these holes. The damage is not just a nuisance but a serious risk to drivers’ safety and the condition of their vehicles.
This issue has persisted for over six months and, with the arrival of winter weather, is worsening rapidly. The potholes are becoming deeper and more widespread, and it’s now almost impossible to navigate the road without causing damage to a vehicle.
Immediate intervention is urgently needed to prevent further harm and ensure the road is safe for all road users
