Huge crater in road
Reported via desktop in the Pothole category anonymously at 16:37, Thursday 14 May 2026
Sent to Aberdeenshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 965743.
This has been here many months now and is now huge and now very dangerous, saw many a car hit this as unavoidable and the latest was an emergency vehicle hitting this hole and what a noise it gave, hoping the vehicle was ok to help save a life.
