Is this London's largest pothole?

Hemberton pothole with a can for scale

The Hemberton pothole measures one metre square and over 20 cm deep

Local Lib Dem campaigner Steve Bradley recently spotted this huge pothole in the middle of the road in Hemberton Road on the Clapham/Stockwell border. It measured one metre square and at least 20 centimetres deep. The hole is such that it could cause serious body-work or axle damage to any car that goes straight into it, or throw a cyclist off their bike.

When will Labour councillors get round to fixing some of the terrible road surfaces around Lambeth?

(This pothole has since been fixed, but it still illustrates the state of the roads in Lambeth.)
