Residents fear potholes may cause 'major accident'

Residents of a privately owned road near an NHS hospital in Surrey fear there will be a "major accident" if several potholes are not repaired.

Nicky Brownjohn, who has lived in Princes Road, Earlswood, for 41 years, said the "only way to be safe" was to drive very slowly.

"It is awful. Sometimes they have filled potholes, but then there's so much traffic that quickly the potholes come back," she added.

FirstPort, which manages the road on behalf of the estate developers, said it was committed to working with all parties involved to coordinate the full repair to the road surface.
