Channel and potholes, 16th April
Big channel of churned up tarmac and potholes along it. It’s right next to where cars park so cars, motorbikes and cyclists can’t avoid it. It’s dangerous. This was a botched up job when it was fixed. What a waste of money. A proper job should be done in the first place.

Dip in Road / Road Sinking, 1st April
Once again the Road is seemingly collapsing from underneath outside 224 Bolton Road West. The road at this location keeps sinking and is developing a depression. The hole has been filled several times and has been stable for about 6 months but it's again worsening. This is producing a noticeable bounce in vehicles going over the road, particularly bad with large vehicles. Low Riding vehicles / sports cars are now grounding out when riding the dip.
There is also a smell of gas in this area. Let's hope we don't get another Summerseat.
The council have dumped a few loads of bitmac into the hole over the last 3years but never really addressed the cause as the road continues to sink.
Bolton Road West is an ancient road and is not otherwise subject to subsidence. This depression would suggest something is amiss under the road such as a damaged sewer or failed culvert.
Where is the council engineers professional curiosity? This should be a concern and the subject of further investigation as opposed to just dumping more and more bitmac into the hole.
Please investigate further before a dangerous failure occurs. This is a busy A road and the potential liability massive given the numerous reports made to the council over the years, the council having attended by filling the dip have tacitly acknowledged the defect and this liability would be hard to dispute. Numerous reports of this defect are visible, publically on this site.

So many holes on this side of the road it’s impossible to avoid them. They are on a descent and coming round a bend it is very dangerous as you avoid one hole you hit another., 6th March
The roads around this area are a total disgrace I’m surprised someone has not been killed. This particular spot has been like this for several months if not years but has got much worse recently. My wheel is dented and punctured and I have yet to check if my bicycle frame is cracked from the impact I will have to get this checked by a bicycle mechanic to ensure my safety.
