Large area the entire length of bypass on both sides of carrigeway between both roundabouts
Reported via mobile in the A pothole in road category anonymously at 12:45, Monday 29 July 2024
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6288681.
The whole road has degraded large areas between 2 and 3 metres in area some causing drivers to swerve right then left to miss them but then causing oncoming cars to swerve. This road for a bypass to a popular town must cause visitors to the area to think they are on a farm track it is totally unacceptable to allow this to happen

This pothole report has now been passed to the Safety Inspection Team for assessment.
A safety inspector will make an assessment of the work needed and they will consider a number of factors, including the flow of traffic and the size of the pothole.
If repair work is required, the pothole will either be classed as urgent or will be put into a planned programme of works to ensure it is repaired as efficiently as possible. We aim to complete the repair work within 28 days.
In some cases a temporary repair will be needed, to make the area safe, then engineers will return to make a permanent repair.
