    Sorry if this has been done before, but was wondering if there was a thread for reporting potholes and other road defects ?

    With the nice weather and more people getting out on their bikes theres nothing worse that going into a corner on a road that your not familiar with and hitting a pothole right in the middle of the bend !!

    I was going to suggest a thread that goes by road numbers so if anyone planning a ride out could refer to and people with local knowledge could post to.

    Pictures if possible would be a good idea

    I hate to be negative here but I've reported several to WCC and they do sod all.

    The A36 and Warminster roundabout is in a disgusting state and the road past Longleat is even worse along with numerous other roads.

    Sorry I've just re-read your post and realise you mean a thread here on the forum.

    Think you'd be better having a thread which reports roads which are pot hole free!

    I pay enough roadtax to use the roads ........(controversial I know....)

    If there were any cycle paths where I am I would gladly use them...

    I ride my push bike on the pavements.
    They are always empty where I ride and I don't feel safe riding along the road.
