Several large potholes that have damaged numerous cars have been slammed by local residents.
Huge potholes that are currently covered by flood water are causing chaos for drivers travelling along The Street in Foxearth, near Sudbury.
People living in the area have described the potholes as "craters" and are calling for work to be done to fix the issue.
Speaking in October Mark Posen, chairman of Foxearth and Liston Parish Council, said the state of the road was "terrible".
He added: "The surface of the road is unacceptable. They did some patching work from the Rodbridge road, which has now been filled in but they did not continue through the village."
A spokesman for Essex Highways said: "In order to maximise our resources, we have to fix the most urgent issues first, however all defects reported to us are assessed by an inspector.
“We therefore encourage members of the public to report any defects or issues they find through our online Tell Us tool on our website.
"Information about our repair criteria and maintenance strategy can also be found on our website."
