Pothole in Kemble, nr Cirencester on A429

by Louiseb1

12 Jun 2012

At about 11am on Monday 11 June, i was driving back to the village and as i entered into the village i went under the shady trees, there was quite a bit of rain and the road were wet, with the weather dull and miserable. The pot hole is situated on the left side of the road. I drove through the pothole automatically blowing the passengers front tyre.

When i went to take the photographs later that day, i saw someone else who had her front and back tyres blown out, and she also reported another person having done it before her.

This pot hole is deadly, and i have now heard of another 6 people who have also unfortuantley had their tyres blown by this. The council need to fix it with immeadiate effect, to ensure not too many other people do the same.

It appears to blow out car tyres, but not white vans or anything larger, or so i have heard.
