Potholes
Potholes are usually formed during the winter months as a direct result of snow, ice and prolonged periods of rain and occur where an area of the road's surface has broken up and fallen out.
We carry out regular inspections of the roads but also rely on the public reporting potholes to us. We inspect all reported potholes and risk assess them to prioritise their repair.
The assessment will take into account many issues including the location of the pothole in the road and the amount and type of vehicle that uses the road, such as cars or pedal bikes.
