Deep subsidence below edge of carriageway - suspect collapsed pipe?

I've reported this issue twice already , this is the third time. I warned you that the subsidence is so bad as to likely cause a lorry load to shift and increase potential for a accident at the roundabout. TODAY THAT ACCIDENT HAPPENED. Two pallets of bottled drinks burst through the side of a small lorry, blocking the roundabout and destroying the side of the lorry itself ( not a curtain-sider - it was a panel van!) I find it absolutely incredible that , despite being warned on multiple times by several people, you have failed to prevent this accident. It's simply luck that nobody was standing there, waiting to cross, as it's used daily by the people who work in the nearby warehouses. If there had been injury or fatality I would have stood at an inquest repeating the same details to a coroner - how you have failed to protect the public. My name and address: Mike Lee 1 Mallard Close Thrapston NN14 4TQ
I would consider a written response to this as the minimum requirement on your behalf. I fully intend to raise this issue to a higher level, including our MP.
