Large pot hole - about 4 inches deep

Reported via desktop in the General category anonymously at 00:34, Tue 20 July 2021

Sent to Dungog Shire Council 11 months, 3 weeks, 1 day, 23 hours, 26 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 1545.

Pothole has been here for weeks, and takes up half the lane heading towards Clarence Town. Impossible to miss if a car is coming the other way. It is either hit the pothole (which is more like a crater) or have a head on collision. On Friday 16/7/21 this was my situation, I had to choose to hit the pothole as there was no safe way to avoid it. This caused my whole rim to buckle and my tyre to pop. It was then hard to find a safe place to pull over as the road is so narrow. I then had no signal to call for assistance, it was lucky that someone driving past stopped to offer assistance. I then had to have the day off work to get it fixed as I live too far away to safely drive home on a skinny spare. It cost me $220 to have the tyre fixed, which is still better than having a head on collision and injuring myself and others. This pothole is extremely dangerous and something needs to be done to keep drivers safe on this already unpredictable road.
