Reported via desktop in the Road Potholes category anonymously at 20:38, Monday 9 March 2026

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 438511.

51.994883, -0.450522 I am writing to report a SIGNIFICANT pothole located on Barton Road in Pulloxhill (MK45 5HP), (51.994883, -0.450522) just as you drive out of the village, near the layby. The pothole is Dangerous for drivers. It is unavoidable due to its location and SIZE, especially when approaching it with oncoming traffic. This HAZARD has been present for months, and despite its HIGH risk, it appears to have not yet been inspected or addressed. Given its current Dangerous state, its causing damage to vehicles!! please prioritise this and arrange for it to be inspected and repaired. You have a legal duty of care!! This isn't something you can leave as part of any long-term programme of works Thanks for dealing with this pothole.
