Potholes

We repair potholes to help keep the road network in a safe condition.

A pothole is a sharp-edged hole in a road usually created by water and weather damage or heavy vehicles.

We aim to repair emergency potholes on road and paths within 24 hours of a report.

We also aim to repair 95% of other potholes within 28 days of a report.

Not all holes in the road are classed as potholes.

Carriageway potholes are classed as being deeper than 4cm and more than 30cm across while footway potholes must be deeper than 2cm and more than 60cm across.

Our service does not cover potholes on private roads or paths.

For further information download our potholes service standards.
