Collapsing Triple Access Cover creating pothole, 18th December
A350 Southbound carriageway at West Melbury [What3Words = elect.supplied.boomer] set of triple access manhole covers are sinking again creating a new pothole. Google StreetView shows an earlier pothole patch was marked up for repair in June 2023 - presumably it is this patch which is now disintegrating as the triple access manhole sinks further?

A very large hole in the north westerly side of the road, 29th March
This is a pothole that was recently repaired but opened up again. It is deep, fills with water and so is not easy to see at night. It is fairly out in the road so it is not easy to by-pass without hitting the bank on the opposite side of the road. Hitting this could easily damage a car's suspension.

This road is full of pot holes. It is a farm track not a road, 28th February
This road has not been properly resurfaced for over 10 years. Whenever repairs are made it is only filling in the odd pot hole with some tarmac which is soon washed out. We are now living in a hollow with very poor access, with the road becoming very eroded.
