Horrible broken road with multiple deep potholes filled with water hiding them Just before you get to Philip Paul’s Car Sales Maesbury industrial estate. Busy road and it’s been like this since a few weeks ago. Still not fixed. This is twice now I’ve gone over this and worry it’s damaged my car. Especially when cars other side of the road impossible to avoid. The deepest one always hits my drivers side wheel and back wheel. Please fix this asap!!!!!

The issue you reported has been assessed and added to our list of roads of engineering concern. This means more extensive work is required than simple spot repairs. It will be considered for work as part of a larger scheme of road maintenance as funding allows.
Our priority is to be effective at responding to the most serious issues. The list is not completed on a first come first served basis but based upon several risk and resource factors. A site's priority on the list changes regularly. Factors include weather related emergency work or awaiting the optimal time of year to complete works.
Due to limited and changing resources we are unable to provide an exact timescale. Often this can be months to years.
We will continue to undertake routine inspections in the meantime, whereby notifiable safety issues are recorded and scheduled for action in the interim.
