Where can I report dangerous potholes that need repairing?

I am currently visiting the Bedworth area. I was here in January and was shocked by the state of the roads. The roundabout below junction three of the M6 had huge holes in the road surface, and they are still there. In my view, this is a serious dereliction of duty by someone, even criminal negligence - these holes are downright dangerous. A biker negotiating the junction in poor visibility could be thrown off course by these monsters. Just down the road by the Ricoh stadium, another roundabout has a large pothole on the approach.

Photograph them and notify their location to www.fixmystreet.co.uk . Fixmystreet then notifies the relevant council and this becomes a matter of record so if the council does nothing it could be found guilty of malfeasance. If it would be dangerous to try to photograph them, simply notify Fixmystreet. I recently photographed a dangerous pothole on a local roundabout and reported it via Fixmystreet. It was filled within days, though the filling subsided almost immediately.
