Big recurring pothole, needs permanent solution, not temporary fixes., 20th April
This pothome is recurring. It has been recurring for years now, the council will fill it with a temporary fix. The issue is that the fix is only temporary and comes undone within 3 months, each time inevitably causing the pothole to increase in size and depth. I've attached a picture using a coke can to help define the depth of the pothole.

4/5 cluster potholes, 20th April
I nearly had a bad accident last night trying to avoid the cluster of potholes at the 1st Newcraighall roundabout (coming from the A1) which are in the middle of the road as you take the exit into Fort Kinnaird at Pets at Home. Given the volume of traffic here, this needs fixed urgently before there is a bad accident.

Road is almost unridable. It’s the link between cycle paths to NCN 1. Gets used a lot by cyclists. Not just one pot hole, but a stretch of 100 yds, 25th March
Been getting worse over last 5 yrs. what’s frustrating is that there is a useless small ‘cycle path’ on one side and a pavement on the other with no pedestrians. It’s an industrial estate with lorries and ambulances tearing along. It’s not safe to cycle on, but this is the route! Road needs fixing asap

3 year old potholes, causing cars to drive on pavements, 23rd March
The photos I took were taken back in 2022. These potholes have been present since 2021 and have only grown bigger and deeper since then. It is a major hazard as they are near the turning point at the end of the road. I have previously reported it to Edinburgh Council but they have done nothing to rectify the issue. It has gotten to the point now where cars are having to go onto the pavement when turning into that road in order to avoid the potholes.
