Tarmac has come away from the drain, creating a very deep pot hole and a sharp corner. I have unfortunately hit this pothole/damage today, resulting in my tyre bursting and having to call out roadside assistance. There are two potholes very close to each other, I have sent over photos of the one I hit. This has ended up costing me £234.99 to get fixed aswell as unpaid time off work due to the poor road conditions. I can provide further photos of the pothole and my damaged tyre alongside the receipt. I would like to make a claim for the cost of my tyre. I look forward to hearing back from you, thank you.

  • I have similarly hit this pot hole and want it on record in the event that when my car is inspected next week (earliest appointment) and any work is required that it can be recoverable. Yesterday at 6pm.
