Report potholes when you see them
Tuesday 19 January 2010
Potholes caused by the big freeze can be reported on Haringey's Pothole Hotline.
The bad weather has left holes all over the borough which need to be repaired.
The dedicated hotline - on 020 8489 1335 - enables residents to report potholes anywhere within the borough at any time of the day.
All reports will be followed up by the next working day and if necessary will be repaired within seven days. Residents will be notified once this has been completed. Previously the council's target for repairing the least serious potholes was 28 days.
Meanwhile, Haringey will continue to repair those potholes judged to be most serious within 24 hours.
Residents can also report potholes online using our report a problem e-form.
Haringey Council leader, Cllr Claire Kober, said:
"The recent cold weather has created a lot of potholes but we may not know about them unless you report them to us. So if there is one on your street then ring the hotline and let us make the necessary repairs. We do have inspections across the borough looking for potholes but residents identifying potholes is a real help.
"We've virtually doubled our budget for repairing potholes, appointed a new inspector to identify potholes and get them fixed, we've set new targets for making repairs, and introduced the hotline to enable people to report potholes more easily.
"We hope that this post snow blitz will make a real impact on improving road conditions for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, and I hope residents will help us by making use of the hotline and reporting potholes whenever they appear."
