The road serves Metrobus’s number four and five routes and if the hole is not fixed, it “could be a problem” for the buses, Mr Nixon said.

“No action has been taken by West Sussex CC in 17 days and the hole has grown in size which could be a problem for Metrobus four and five services if the hole gets any bigger.”

A spokesperson for WSCC said: "Our contractors visited Langley Drive last Thursday (December 22) and carried out repairs of the pothole.

"We will be revisiting the site today (30.12.22) to check the repairs, and will carry out further works if the initial repair has failed."
