Investigating
Directly outside No.9 Hawthorne Avenue Louth
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2804173.
Outside No.9 Hawthorne Avenue Louth a pothole was repaired last week (Tuesday 16th April). This repair has already failed as a hole of over 4cm deep 20x20cm wide has appeared and spreading the debris over the road and pavement. This particular pothole was reported last August and you confirmed it required repair. On two occasions since August 2023 they have repaired the wrong pothole. I had to report it 3 times before it finally got repaired last Tuesday. Due to the close proximity of this pothole to the frontage of my house (130cm) this time delay has caused significant damage to my property, severely damaged wood work on my sash window, rotten wooden doorstep, damp and continuous dirty water marks on frontage of house caused from vehicles flying water and tarmac debris onto my house. There has always been the high risk of my window getting smashed as tarmac debris actually hits the glass. I you can imagine my delight at finally getting the pothole fixed last Tuesday has now turned to anger and the rediculously rapid deterioration of this newly repaired pothole. Can you please fix this issue asap.

Can I have an update on this pothole. I received an email saying Highways were investigating on the 23rd April and have not received any further updates. This pothole was repaired 16th April and began to deteriorate almost immediately. There is debris flying up hitting pedestrians and house windows when cars drive over it. Please note that this pothole was first reported August 2023 and was deemed as requiring repair then. In that time two other potholes were repaired in error and you put this pothole as fixed. This is now the 5th report that has been sent regarding this pothole. Please can it be fixed asap.
