From the corner very near to Higham Football Club entrance all the way down to Slaters lodge is in a terrible state yet again !! This whole road needs working on and resurfacing before more accidents happen. The potholes are worsening by the day, the surface is so so bad, with ruts / cambers / potholes on both sides, the road is busier than ever with trucks heading to the recycling centre at the wind farm, the verges are getting destroyed by lgv's and dustcarts having to move over to the side to miss oncoming traffic that must move / swerve over to miss the potholes & damage sunken (recently repaired but not properly) sections of the road....there has been accidents along here already over the last few weeks, especially when icy, also the verges are very soft due to bad drainage into ditches , lgv's / trucks are making it worse and soon will go down into the ditches along there, the road is also suffering with mainly potholes along with the recently repaired sections deteriorating all the way to the Caldecott / New Bromswold junction .. This road need to be repaired ASAP not just a bit of tarmac in the potholes before a bad accident occurs !!
