Pot hole now massive

Reported in the Potholes and Surface Problems category anonymously at 14:56, Saturday 24 January 2026

Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1270462-N3T9P3.

Pot hole on Malmesbury road is absolutely huge now. Tar and stones now outside the hole too. My tyre got stuck in the hole many times. This being a school road it is being used constantly and unsafe for people on the pavement as cars need to swerve for the hole.
