THE continued cold and wintery conditions have caused a number of dangerous potholes to appear on the busy A10 between Ely and Cambridge.
Drivers have reported an increasing number of the holes appearing on both lanes of Cambridge Road in recent days and concerns have been raised that the holes will continue to widen as heavy good vehicles thunder over them.
