Huge pothole

Reported via desktop in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 14:02, Friday 6 February 2026

Sent to North Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8853975.

On A6 Market Harborough to Desborough Road. Near the border of Northants and Leicestershire, less than 100 yds. From Desborough direction as road turns left into a four lane road downhill going towards Harborough there is a huge pothole directly in the right hand wheel area of a car, near centre of road. At night it is lethal hundreds of cars and lorries are hitting this. I thought my tyre and suspension had been damaged.
