Large pothole

Reported via mobile in the Potholes and Surface Problems category anonymously at 00:44, Saturday 10 January 2026

Sent to Merton Council 1 minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1268790-Q0G4K1.

There is a huge pothole by the bus stop. It is so large that someone has put a Christmas tree in it to highlight that it is there. It caused a puncture to my car this morning as it was obscured following heavy rainfall.
