Along the stretch of road from the entrance to hawkbatch farm to the top of dowles hill the whole road both sides is littered with potholes, you can’t dodge one without hitting another one safely, or without the possibility of having an RTC, cyclist are in the middle of the road due to them, it’s an absolute joke and a serious RTC waiting to happen… you’ve been warned so many times with lord alone how many claims, why is it still like this? How cheap is life?
