Multiple large potholes
Reported via iOS in the A pothole in pavement category by Geoff Smith at 20:12, Sunday 11 January 2026
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8668302.
There are a series of large potholes in the section of Sawpit Lane in front of properties Tara and Dunromin.
The two larger potholes are 1.2m x 0.6m and 1mx 0,3m and both exceed the depth of a golf ball. In this section there are a series of smaller holes of equal depth.
In addition there are multiple large potholes the entire lengths of Sawpit Lane from the junction of B4213 to the junction at School Lane/Severn way. The road would benefit from a full review to optimise any repair activity and use of repair teams/materials.
