Deep pothole around a drain

Reported via desktop in the Potholes category anonymously at 08:13, Friday 13 March 2026

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9098685.

The pothole is at the edge of a drain at the top of Church Road. It is getting scoured out and is now very deep. It is impossible to miss as drivers go past parked cars. The hole is the width of the metal grating and a new bit breaks away every day. It is worse after the heavy rain on the 12th March. This is a busy street .
