Extensive destruction of road surface.
Reported in the Potholes / Highway Condition category by Dr John Fitton at 11:21, Wed 25 March 2020
Sent to Northamptonshire Highways 5 minutes later. ref: 2072799.
The side of this narrow road has broken up due to flooding for several weeks from the adjacent ditch/drainage channel. This has overflowed owing to a blocked gulley on the south west side. After several days of no rain the water is still on the road. This could have been prevented by unblocking the short gulley under the field entrance weeks ago. At the unblocked end, it looks as though it has been deliberately blocked with loose bricks. The flood water conceals several large potholes. (A couple of weeks ago a large van had to be pulled from the ditch at this point.)

Fixed, but not to a high standard. Ragged edges with no sealing and chunks of the old broken up tarmac left by the sides of the road which will further erode the edges when run over by van tyres. The whole road really isn't fit for service for today's traffic of delivery vans passing each other and is deteriorating rapidly. It will not be long before this unsatisfactory repair needs further attention.
