Dangerous Potholes in Grantham

5 January 2022.

This is one of two deep potholes under the railway bridge in Dysart Road, Grantham. The photo was taken yesterday, 4 January 2022. Here, broken wires for the traffic lights sensors can clearly be seen, which is dangerous for all road users at this extremely busy junction close to where Dysart Road crosses Sankt Augustin Way. If the lights on both Dysart Road and Sankt Augustin Way fail due to damaged sensor wires, it will cause chaos at this junction. This pot hole and the adjacent one also under the bridge on the west-bound carriageway (going out of town) have been getting progressively deeper for many weeks and need URGENT attention. Both potholes are several inches deep and could easily burst a car tyre or cause severe damage to a cyclist and his bike. Please repair ASAP.

There are literally dozens, maybe hundreds, of similarly deep potholes in Grantham, which all need urgent attention. Maybe someone in authority could visit Grantham to see what dangerous road conditions we have to put up with every day?
