Drivers have called for action over “dangerous” potholes on a major A-road into a Wiltshire town. In March, Marlborough residents complained about the “poor condition” of the A346 to the south of the town, after a child was seriously injured in a crash. The incident took place at Cadley on March 9 and involved a car and a large lorry, which witnesses claimed lost control after hitting a pothole near the Postern Hill Campsite.

But despite calls for repairs, six months later motorists are reporting similar issues. Speaking on Facebook, Debra Leighfield revealed her car had been damaged by a pothole on the same stretch of road and warned others to be aware.

“Please be careful. It’s cost us a new tyre today and will need the alloy replacing as it’s buckled it. “They need to chop out the entire stretch during the night and replace it all.

” This post sparked a significant response from other drivers in the area, who are all keen to see repairs carried out to the busy route. Leah Pearson said: “You need a particular set of skills along that road, it’s actually astounding the state of it.” “You have to report everything a million times on MyWilts”, added Becky Deane.

“More reports the better. I will do too as was like a slalom avoiding them this morning.” SEE ALSO: Locals reveal terror of living on 'death road' after ser.
