Ingo, any photos with location information? Could you please urgently forward me copies of the reports sent to Haringey. I'll ask for urgent action as from your description this is very dangerous.

Thanks Alan. Will do when home. I have pictures with GPS location. In the meantime someone reported a blown tyre here on "fixmystreet" the location of impact was opposite Twyford hse. The deepest two potholes are near the western end of plevna crescent as shown on the map data for N15 on the "fixmystreet" site.

Thanks, Ingo.

I tried ringing a person but got a recorded message.  So, as time was pressing I phoned the Director's office a few minutes ago and passed on the information you gave. It should be enough to locate the two potholes especially if they are causing tyres being blown out or accidents with buses.

I'm assuming that Highways staff have seen the description on FixMyStreet - "huge deep pothole" - and are already on the case. But I've asked for confirmation.

Obviously not every pothole can be treated as an emergency but what you describe seems out of the ordinary. We all want to avoid someone coming off a bike or motor bike and getting injured.

I drive here once or twice on most days so do know them. A key issue is how traffic is funnelled between parked cars and oncoming traffic. The collapsed shock drove a front wheel into a wheel arch - disabling the steering. At normal speed, yet with such narrow tolerances, these things become dangerous.

Thanks for posting these photos and the explanation - and emailing them to me in the early hours this morning. I've just seen them. Thanks too for adding them this morning to the FixMyStreet website. Haringey will have got this and - hopefully - linked up the report they got via the same website on 15 February and the call from me yesterday.

However, the person who used FixMyStreet on Monday (anonymously) reported  "One huge deep pothole that blew out my tyre and damaged my rim". So I assume that's what Haringey's traffic person would have been looking for.

Apologies for my error.. The earlier report on FixMyStreet was on Monday - 11 February.

Thank you for your email.  The Volker Highways Coordinator confirmed that works on the pothole reported below will start this weekend.

The location according to various reports state that it’s on the junction that joins St Ann’s road with Plevna Crescent N15.
