There are series of potholes appearing at an alarming rapid rate. I believe there is an underlying issue beneath the road surface as an incredible amount of water is bubbling up out of these potholes. I'm sure I don't need to tell you how busy the A37 is through Whitchurch Village but I believe this is not an easy fix in terms of just coming to put a repair into the potholes. Luckily there is a drain next to the damage which is draining away the water but you will see from the image the amount of water which is coming up through the surface in around a 2 m² area.
