53.343238 -2.543446

Fairly serious... Hit pot hole in the evening on 23.02.24, had to pull over on hard shoulder due to tyre losing pressure. Managed to drive to services eventually to fit spare wheel. Hole was on the right hand side of lane 2 heading east towards junction 9 of M56. Many highway service vehicles were in the local area so may have already been repaired. Thanks
