Dangerous road, ramps, uneven surface
Reported via mobile in the A pothole in road category anonymously at 00:09, Thursday 22 January 2026
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8739524.
Whole stretch of road extremely dangerous due to uneven surfaces, numerous potholes, ramps, leaning camber. My HGVs have both had substantial damage to them on this road and my catering trailer has had thousands of pounds worth of damage done to it because of the road shaking it to pieces, hitting potholes and the vehicles going over numerous ramps and bumps in the road. As a main route to the M5 it needs urgently resurfacing, not patching up.

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.
