What we do

Once your report is received, we aim to assess the pothole:

  • within 10 working days
  • within 2 hours if the defect is notified as an emergency

After assessing the pothole, we will:

  • repair dangerous or serious potholes within 24 hours to 7 days
  • repair non-serious potholes within 28 working days – however, this depends on the resources that are available and it may take longer

Suspected damage to your vehicle

If you think your vehicle has been damaged because of a pothole, you can request a claim form by emailing the insurance team.

You can also write to the insurance team to request a form by post.
