There are a series of serious pot holes some are within Central Beds and some in Bedford Borough . I have reported to Beds Borough and National Highways as this is not a pot hole it is a SERIOUS HAZZARD . Why ? because the hole is 100mm deep and extends the entire width of a road where cars travel at 60 mph . Drivers attempt to avoid and veer into on coming traffic There will be a fatal accident if this isn't resolved . Further ... to make you aware - my airbag warning light came on as a result of hitting the hole and my tyre burst and wheel was damaged . . I wish to claim for costs please advise . The offending pot hole the worst one is in Central Beds i believe . The problem has been present for at least 6 weeks probably longer
