Big pothole and sunken drain hole
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8189962.
There’s a new pothole - quite big - that’s on a bend and forces many cars to go into oncoming traffic because parallel with it there’s also a sunken drain hole and it’s nearly impossible to avoid them.
The stretch of the road between Ruspidge and sudeley is very damaged please have a look and inspect it. In many places is beyond patching and it should be resurfaced, it may be helpful to be fully woken up in the morning by all the rattling the car is getting but this takes me back to Eastern Europe it’s shameful to have roads like this in a developed country especially in an area where we get so many tourists.

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.
