Pothole repairs are finally on the way after mounting pressure from residents.
A stretch of Halterworth Lane in Romsey, just past the railway crossing, will undergo overnight resurfacing following repeated complaints about craters in the road.
Councillor Nick Adams-King, leader of Hampshire County Council and councillor for Romsey Rural, said:: "Over the past few weeks I’ve had a significant number of emails and messages about the condition of Halterworth Lane,
"The early spring rain has taken its toll, and a number of potholes and areas of deterioration have understandably caused concern.
"I’m pleased to confirm that repairs are now scheduled."
Partial repairs to the most damaged section will begin next week, from April 20.

On May 5, permeant thermal patching works will take place overnight for four nights from 7pm until 9am.
On May 7, works will not begin until after 10pm, once polling stations have closed for the local elections
Cllr Adams-King added: "I know road closures are never welcome, but doing this work overnight allows the repairs to be completed more quickly and safely.
"Importantly, I have sought reassurance for those most directly affected—residents of Hestia Close will be able to access their homes throughout the works, with arrangements in place during the closure.
"Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to report issues on this stretch of road. That feedback has helped ensure the works have been prioritised and scheduled."
