Pot Holes

Reported via desktop in the Potholes category by Joanne Tomkins at 12:38, Monday 12 January 2026

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8672193.

This is an ongoing issue. The road from A696 towards the Recycling centre is dangerous. The road has been in a persistent state of disrepair for several years, with severe potholes and surface failure. Each year, residents are instructed to report the issue through the “Fix My Street” system, only to be told repeatedly that the council is not responsible for the road. Despite this, the road continues to be used by the council as an access route for the recycling centre, leaving residents trapped in a cycle of reporting, denial of responsibility and inadequate action.
