Huge car swallowing pothole is NOT urgent
Discussion
There's a big pothole (repaired January, failed again) outside my house that wakes me up when the lorries start thumping over it at 5am.
I reported it (Essex Highways) with photos, reviewed within 6 hours overnight (??) and "no action required". It's a 60 with a lot of bikers as well so quite dangerous.
The frequent email responses from Essex Highways seemed to be suspiciously automated, so I submitted a picture of a slightly bigger hole to see if that would prompt any action:
They got straight onto it and gave me this response within 90 minutes:
"We have investigated, risk assessed and recorded this issue as requiring future non-urgent works. Thanks for helping us keep Essex roads in the best condition we can."

That's not a pothole, that's a sinkhole.
I think that's the picture that the OP submitted hoping to get a response, not an actual picture of the pothole outside their house.The council probably know this hence their reply.

Perhaps the have embraced the wonder that is AI automated responses I reported it (Essex Highways) with photos, reviewed within 6 hours overnight (??) and "no action required". It's a 60 with a lot of bikers as well so quite dangerous.

You sent them a photo of a different (sink) hole?I reported it (Essex Highways) with photos, reviewed within 6 hours overnight (??) and "no action required". It's a 60 with a lot of bikers as well so quite dangerous.

Please post a photo of the real pothole.
We had a ridiculous pot hole open up in the space of a day after some wet weather
It was shaking the glasses in our kitchen when certain vehicles hit it
Council came and marked it, because it wasn’t an a road they didn’t seem that bothered.
My neighbour reported that a bike had fallen off badly because of it, fixed the same day

Based on some of OP's other threads / posts on here over the last 12 months expect this thread to probably be a massive exaggeration, posted to get some of the usual posters squabbling with each other, or in the case of the champagne one, the sort of thread you'd normally expect from one of the long term wind-up merchants on here under a throwaway account. Which given the amount of posts OP's made in a year it's possible they're a long term poster back under a new account, racking up the posts to get back into NPE.The council probably know this hence their reply.
