Huge amounts of pothole and lots of areas where the loss of top surface course is
Reported via desktop in the A pothole in road category anonymously at 11:38, Friday 23 August 2024
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6390018.
The road (underneath the trees) is in an appalling state, I understand this is not a major road but cars have to swerve to miss these areas. Please confirm what the plan is for resurfacing or repairing all areas, as the road is getting worse on a month by month basis. The evenings are getting darker and people/children are using this road to walk to school/village etc and I do believe an injury will happen

Thank you for reporting a pothole.
First, a safety inspector will visit the location to assess whether a repair needs to be completed and plan the work needed. Works are prioritised based on the urgency of the situation. The council aim to repair all significant potholes (more than 4cm deep and 30cm wide) 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.
We will provide updates about this report.

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.
An update on the outcome of the safety inspection will be provided.
