Action scheduled
Third time I’ve reported the potholes along Hayden Road in Cheltenham
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8983719.
This is the third time I’ve reported these potholes. I keep getting emails to say they have been fixed but they haven’t. Hayden road is extremely bad for driving along. There are multiple potholes, some are really deep and some are extremely wide, hard to navigate your way thorough. They are in the lane and in the middle of the road along the white line so there is no way of avoiding them. People, including myself, I have also seen 4x4s swerve to avoid them so you can only imagine how bad they are. Someone is either going to have damage caused to their tyres or there is going to be an accident from where people have to swerve. The speed limit along the road is 40mph but to drive down that road safely, people are having to drive less than 10mph. These potholes NEED fixing before someone’s dies or someone has to pay an extortionate amount to get their car fixed. I thought Gloucestershire was green for fixing potholes? Stop lying saying you’ve filled them in when they haven’t even been touched

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.
