Significantly tarmac depression

Reported via mobile in the Potholes and Surface Problems category anonymously at 14:25, Friday 31 July 2026

Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1291566-B2S7H4.

The patch of Rowan road indicated, heading towards, on the carriageway heading towards Manor/Northborough Rd, had a significant defect/depression.

Each time a bus or heavy vehicle crosses it the vehicle vibrates, and the top floor of my house also vibrates, to the extent that doors rattle in their frame.

It’s not that obvious to the human eye, but is detectable, plus a minute’s observation will see a bus drive over it and any worker will be able to hear and see what I’m talking about.

Please could this be fixed?
