Several other long-standing potholes between Hobbs Cross Road and Abridge turnoff.

The pothole has been here for a long time and to avoid the pothole you need to drive on the other side of the road (which is extremely dangerous). Additionally there was no cone in the pothole therefore I drove over it at normal speed and my tyre has burst and suspension has gone.
