How we deal with potholes
Our inspectors investigate all reports and assess them against the investigatory criteria from our Highway Inspection Policy. Where repairs are required, the most urgent defects are repaired first. Other defects will be recorded for consideration as part of wider maintenance schemes and some defects will be passed to utility companies if the issue is with their manhole covers, reinstatement or equipment.
