Hole near kerb , getting bigger, rain water is flowing down this hole and disappearing

Reported via mobile in the Damaged road category anonymously at 08:35, Thu 31 July 2025

Sent to London Borough of Bexley less than a minute later. Report ref: 7958302.

There has been a hole in the road,near the kerb outside 40/42 maximfeldt road. This has been here for a few years, but now seems to be getting bigger,. This morning it's raining and the rain is pouring down this hole and just disappearing. Which is a bit concerning. If it was just a small hole it would fill with the water, not just vanish, so could be possibly washing the soil/ ground away under the tarmac
