Lochloy junction pothole status

Regular readers have expressed concern over the state of the potholes at the Lochloy junction on the A96 through Nairn. It seems that there has been a recent repair of the crater that was actually at the lights on the Forres bound side of the road, picture here. There is still a huge hole on that side of the road at the turn-off to Bridgemill however, see below. On the way into town from the east there is also a hole to watch out for as you near the lights and a further hazard at a man hole cover just inside the junction. If we can't have a bypass can we please have a bit more attention to this part of the road that regularly seems to generate new potholes?
