In case you haven’t experienced them yet: there are several more potholes on the way out to the B5056, mainly between the Pikehall turning and the Wigley’s. Some are small but vicious! I have reported them via the form on the DCC website. Please do the same as it may help to speed up repair.

More Potholes
Tuesday February 25, 2020 by Fiona H


Good luck with that one!!! DCC Highways are hopeless. I reported a pot hole in 2017 which was near the school & surrounding the water grid on the hill and they did not even bother to log it!! I found that out when I called them again 3 months later to see why it hadn’t been repaired.
My experience of reporting potholes using DCC’s online form has been a more positive one. In general DCC’s Highways have responded reasonably quickly although some of the more recent ‘fillings’ look more like a bowl of porridge. In their defense, they must be absolutely inundated with smaller and larger jobs at the moment: road/wall/bank collapses affecting roads, potholes, gravel, displaced manhole covers etc. We may have to be a bit more patient on this occasion. May-be add a few more cones to the various potholes, which perhaps in turn will help to slow down traffic to the desired 20 m/h?!
