A large 'sink hole' repair from a few years ago, seems to be in the process of failing.

Reported via desktop in the Potholes & road surface category anonymously at 16:58, Sunday 6 July 2025

Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 7816997.

This section of road appears to be sinking (adjacent to 43 Grange Rd driveway). A sunken hole has developed (not a pot hole) and there appears to be no foundation beneath the hole/ surrounding surface.

I placed a broom handle in the hole and it went 6 inches or so into a 'cavity' beneath the surrounding tarmac surface.

I'm concerned that the weight of our vehicle/s entering leaving our drive, is going to cause the tarmac to collapse.
