Between the new roundabout and the Totternhoe turn closer to LB end on left as heading from LB towards Dunstable
Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 421269.
There is a deep but narrow crack in the road which goes along for many metres (10metres?) where the road surface has failed and it has been like this for months. It is very dangerous as a car tyre could be shredded by it or it could cause a motor cyclist to come off their bike as it is a similar width to a tyre. To safely drive along that stretch and to avoid it you have to drive very close to the road edge or in the middle of the road and that road is very dangerous due to overtaking facing traffic. It has been like this for months and on such a busy, main A road really needs to be sorted before it causes a terrible accident.
