FIXMYSTREET IN SN3 4SH
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of SN3 4SH:
Double manholes that are sunken, 18th April
I drove over these on Monday 15th April at approx 15:00 in the direction of Swindon. There was an almighty bang. There was then a loud rattling noise whenever I went over an uneven bit of road or pothole. I had to continue slowly to the Great Western hospital as my wife had an important appointment to make. The car had now developed a loud boing noise when turning. After looking underneath my car to see if I could see anything (I could not) I phoned a couple of garages in Swindon to see if they could take a look at my car as I did not want to drive it home. Unfortunately no availability until Wednesday or Thursday. I drove it home to Faringdon taking slower roads where possible. I called in to a local garage and the earliest they could fit my car in was Thursday. I have just been told by the garage that the damage was caused by a pothole (or other road defect) and that the drivers front spring and mount had been damaged.
