Very large pothole, which is grounding cars and making the road and access to properties impassable

Reported via desktop in the A pothole in road category anonymously at 08:50, Friday 13 September 2024

Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6467344.

Hi, There is a very large pothole which is grounding cars and restricting access to 3 properties and requires very urgent attention. The addresses that are affected are in Tunley - our house, Tunley Court and my neighbours at The Thatched Cottage and The Old Chapel. The postcode is GL7 6LW.

The postcode covers a very long lane - over a mile long, so specifically the GPS coordinates for Google maps are: 51.739140, -2.098593 and the What3Words are beads.tubes.tent

Please could we get this resolved? It's making life quite difficult - and really damaging cars and tyres.

Regards, William Lidstone

William Lidstone Tunley Court Sapperton GL7 6LW 07887 604 319

    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.
