> When driving on Shands Road at around 9:00 pm, my car struck a large pothole near Watties, which resulted in a flat tyre and likely damage to the wheel. The vehicle will be towed this evening, and a full damage assessment will be carried out early tomorrow. I strongly recommend that this pothole be repaired as soon as possible due to the serious safety risk. I will be in touch to discuss the associated repair once the assessment is complete.
