Fill that hole: Report pothole hazards on your routes - fix potholes

That same cunting hole on Uxbridge has opened up again. Reported.

How about a permanent fix you useless cuntos?

Horrible pothole on Waterloo road (when heading south). Hit it hard the other night and my hand that I fractured in May was aching all the way home. Reported.

Anyone used

?

All it does is kick you through to the relevant council web page. Not much use.

Oof, there's a small but deep one on WOBURN PLACE, southbound, immediately after CORAM STREET, about three foot from the pavement.

Particularly treacherous given how close (and fast) bus drivers are on that stretch.

Reported large pothole turning left onto Sussex Gardens. It's right in the cycling zone on the corner. Made more hazardous by the fact there's no light on it so it's not visible until too late.

Hit a stonker of a pothole at speed on the OKR last night, somewhere near the Devon Street junction (I was riding in thick traffic and didn't pause to get by bearings).

The shock went straight to my poor old right scaphoid that has taken a hammering over the last 20 or so years of London commuting. Front wheel is still round but has a slight wave at one point and the brake now goes "thwick thwick thwick". I really don't want to have to replace the wheel - it's built on a Schmidt hub and has been such a solid performer over the years.

If I can spot the hole again, I'll definitely report it.

Bad luck fella, hope the rim isn't too dinked.

I've been fairly quiet on the reporting front and impressed as Lewisham/Southwark (et al) councils spend their remaining budgets on road repairs. A good chunk of my commute in South London has fresh oily Tarmac.

Reported large pothole on Grey's Inn Road, northbound.

And another on Euston Road.

And another on Uxbridge Road.

And that long trench of shitting pipe works that's getting worse on Bayswater Road, westbound.

There's a new street artist who paints dicks on potholes so the council will fix them. He's called "Wanksy".

BRILLIANT. Absolutely excellent.

It's a pothole warning system.

Nice idea... but honestly, is it such a problem that you wouldn't just look where you're going?

It would be a constant beeeeeeeeeeeeep on UK roads...

Careful around Manchester:

Sometimes you're watching cars or junctions. I don't expect to be taken out by a dangerous road while I'm making sure I don't get hit by a car.

Reported new one near Askew Road.

The one I crashed into has opened up again and is much worse. Will report later.

As if you could even fit into the Manchester sinkhole.

Reported another couple on Uxbridge Road.

They've filled the two I reported. Nice response time. I guess it helps having people sue them.

Reported another one on fUxbridge.

Reported three large ones on the commute. Looks like the recent rain has helped open some more up.
