A6 near Houghton Conquest, 60 mph section

Reported via mobile in the Road Potholes category by Tanvir Islam at 12:34, Fri 12 December 2025

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 431793.

A large pothole is present in the nearside wheel track on this 60 mph section of the A6. The defect appears to have been present for some time and has already been reported by multiple users, with works scheduled. The pothole is deep enough to present a serious risk to vehicles, particularly at normal road speeds, and caused immediate damage to my vehicle. Due to traffic speed and safety, it was not possible to stop and take photographs at the time.
