There is a massive and deep pothole in the carriageway on Streatham Road by Figges Marsh, just before the bus stop. The pothole is difficult to see, especially in low light, and poses a serious danger to vehicles.

On 09/01/2026 at approximately 6pm my vehicle struck this pothole and both tyres were immediately damaged, causing a breakdown. The defect requires urgent inspection and repair to prevent further damage or accidents.
