Thanks for letting us know about your issue with a pothole on the road or cycleway. We will look into this and let you know what we find within the next 14 days. You can find out more about potholes on our website

Great news, we’ve had a look at the issue and we have now passed to our Highways Officers for the team to assess what can be done to resolve the matter. We’ll let you know when the assessment has taken place.

This massive pothole is over 2 meters from left to right across the road and is unavoidable when driving down the road, you have to climb up the steep grass verge to try and avoid it. As can be seen by the picture with my torch which is sat in the pothole at a depth of 100mm, the rest of the pothole is at least 160mm plus in the center of the pothole which is currently filled with water. This is just one of the pot holes down this road the others are now joining together to form larger ones.

Thank you for your FixMyStreet report.
An officer has inspected Sea Lane and identified two significant defects that already have existing repair works scheduled for completion in February. During the inspection, several smaller defects and areas of carriageway “crazing” were also noted.
To ensure the most effective and lasting repairs, we will be using our jet patcher to address the remaining defects and make the lane safe. Due to weather conditions, this equipment can only be used during the spring to achieve the best results. As a result, these works have been prioritised and scheduled for the early weeks of April.
Sea Lane has also been identified as requiring a larger-scale resurfacing scheme, which we will propose for future programmes. While this cannot be guaranteed in the near future, it is an important step in identifying key locations where resources will need to be directed.
We appreciate your patience during this time. Going forward, inspection frequencies on Sea Lane will be increased, and once the works are completed, we would welcome further FixMyStreet reports should any additional issues arise.
Thank you for reporting this matter.

Thank you for gettig back to us regarding potential repairs to the Sea Lane. However I actually remeasured the largest pothole where we are having to mount the road side to be able to drive up and down the road with difficulty. From right to left it is 220 mm and then the other measurement across it is 107 mm approx The depth in the hole is approx 18cm but it is difficult to measure as it is full of water ! I understand you expect to repair this at the beginning of April in approx 7 weeks, hopefully it will last until then but if it gets any bigger vehicles will be unable to get up and down the road.
