Crumbling road surface with largr ruts and potholes

Reported via Android in the Road surface issue category by Ian Tong at 12:52, Tue 4 February 2025

Sent to Shropshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14168732.

The state of the section of lane from Marton to the first martonbeech junction has been poor for a while, but the recent bad weather has led to a disintegration of the surface, rutting either side and a number of large potholes. The road is almost impassable for small wheeled vehicles and may well have already damaged others.i have not included any photo's as I know you are aware of this due to a recent conversation with the lady who supervises this area.
