Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 13542.
The temporary repair (3/2/2026) to the 'pothole' has now disintegrated resulting in a very uneven surface. Added to this is the fact that this section of road has been resurfaced a number of times, culminating in a large section of uneven/crumbling road surface. There are large dips in the road surface and with each vehicle passing vehicle there is constant (due to volume of traffic) vibrations and excessive/unacceptable noise level. There is a major concern regarding potential damage to adjacent/adjoining property from vibrations, as vehicles pass over this stretch of road. All of my windows and doors shake as vehicles travel over this stretch of road. As this is a bus route, plus a high level of HGV's using it daily, the problem is escalating. There is also the risk to road users, especially those travelling at speed, who are at risk of losing control of their vehicle on this stretch of road. This stretch of road is crumbling and will eventually collapse.
