Excessive wet and cold weather conditions over the winter have increased the level of damage to our roads. Over the next three months, our teams will be out, across the borough, working to identify potholes and patching up defects on our most used roads.
Potholes usually happen when the road's surface has broken up and fallen out due to snow, ice and rain.
Once a pothole has formed, it will get bigger the more traffic passes over it, as cars driving over the potholes will continue to weaken and dislodge broken pieces of the road surface.
You can tell us about a pothole or road surface damage by reporting it online.
We will inspect it and prioritise as follows:
Sometimes we may need to resurface the whole road and these works are done under our Highway road surfacing programme.
