Outside 14A Church Street close to lamp post. - update

Reported via desktop in the Road Potholes category anonymously at 10:03, Sunday 30 March 2025

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 421291.

As the previous report - Council ref: 420798 has been closed with no further action, although you advise it will be monitored. It would be much appreciated, by all if you could revisit and give a priority to the repair of this hole as soon as possible.

When traffic passes through this pothole there is an almighty thud, which is amplified when larger vehicles i.e. lorries or buses pass. This fault is also obstructing legitimate off road parking for the residence. As previously highlighted the pothole is located at the edge of a recent repair and is increasing in size. This pothole is also constantly full of water, even though in recent weeks we have had minimal rain. As a result the water within the hole is showered approx. 5 feet in the air every time a vehicle drives through it. This not only showers unexpected pedestrians with dirty water, but also covers the cars parked locally with the same dirty gritty water. This road is in constant use by pedestrians and traffic, as it is a main route through the village.
