Potholes are mostly just annoying, but occasionally you across a right bastard. This one has gotten really bad in the last
couple of weeks. Get things wrong and ride over that chasm to the right of the
grid and you'll be saying hello to the tarmac with your face. I’ve reported this using www.fillthathole.org.uk a service
provided by the CTC. If you search around the map on there you can see the little green flags mean a pothole that has been fixed, blue is unfixed (which is most of them for Manchester) and red is newly reported ones, each one provides a history of when it was reported and to who. It’s a quick
and easy process to fill in the form and upload an image if you have one.
I once had
a blowout on a front tyre of my car from a pothole a few weeks more advanced than this, so they are
not a walk in the park for car drivers either. Let’s see how long it takes to
get fixed (that should say ‘fixed again’ – since you can see it has been
patched previously), I won't be holding my breath though.
