We’ve been told of one pothole on the A509 which is up to seven inches deep

Those pesky potholes are continuing to prove problematic when driving around Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough and Rushden.

Earlier this month we asked you to tell us where the worst potholes are in north Northants, resulting in hundreds of comments on our Facebook page and more than 50 locations of craters in our roads.

We came across a number of potholes in Finedon Road as you head into Irthlingborough.

Mary Gager also got in touch to let us know about a pothole on the A509.

She said: “There is a growing pothole on the A509 between Wollaston and Bozeat.

"The hole is around six/seven inches deep and to avoid it you need to cross over the white line which is an accident waiting to happen.”

The advice from North Northants Council for anyone who wants to report a pothole or any other highways problems is to do this through the online Street Doctor service as it allows residents to track the status of the repair.
