Approx 600 yards from the roundabout on the a505 for billington road / stanbridge road from Dunstable towards Leighton buzzard

Reported via mobile in the Road Potholes category anonymously at 20:28, Thu 3 April 2025

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 421493.

The pothole is deep and has been present for a number of weeks, it is on the stretch of road where there is also a deep crack forming in the road. The pot hole is unavoidable at times especially when cars are over taking oncoming or when cars are overtaking, if you avoid the pothole you hit the crack in the road. On Sunday morning I got a burst tyre when travelling at 0530 front passenger and this morning I have had the exact same problem exact same tyre, this is not acceptable while I was waiting to be assisted on the side of the road with three young children another vehicle pulled up behind me the exact same problem. I am certain you have been made aware of this already as it is very dangerous.
