Enormous pothole, 17th April
This pothole has had several reports over the last several months. What is it going to take for it to be fixed? An accident? A fatality? Drivers are constantly having to swerve to avoid it, to avoid damage to their vehicles, and on such a narrow road with the potential for oncoming traffic. Every day that it's failed to be fixed is one day closer to that fatality, or several. Please fill it as soon as possible.
