In progress
One large semi-deep pothole & one smaller but deeper pothole Just after the traffic light on Northampton rd, Kettering (Down the road from the Stagecoach depot)
Sent to North Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8787487.
My vehicle sustained suspension damage as a result of hitting these potholes at 22:40 on January 19th 2026. I went to report the potholes on the same day but when I pinpointed it on the council website I saw that they had already been reported on the 13th November 2025 so I didn’t bother to make a duplicate report. I’ve also been told that the potholes have now been filled in. However, I am trying to claim some compensation for the damage sustained & in order to do so I’ve been told that I need to file a report.
