Between the turning for Bildeston CP school and the Bildeston Crown coming from Hadleigh direction Hitcham there is a large pothole causing traffic problems as car swerve round it.

Potholes getting worse despite reporting them, 26th September

52.085648 0.898676

The road between B1115 and A1141 has several pot holes at the road edges, however the ones under overhanging trees are merging into one deep hole. This is going to cause damage to vehicles very shortly. I reported this end 2016 and early 2017 and you refused to repair it saying you had other higher priorities. This road is now becoming more heavily used by lorries and delivery drivers.
