Use this form to report a pothole.
It's really useful if you can provide photos, as they can help us to locate the pothole and also to understand the severity of the problem (see examples - opens in a new window).
What we will investigate
We will repair potholes that are at least
- 4 cm deep on a road
- 2.5 cm deep on a pavement
Please don't report holes that aren't as deep as this.
Routine maintenance and resurfacing
Sometimes the surface of the road becomes eroded or stripped but, unless there is a hole that is 4 cm or deeper, this will be dealt with as part of our routine maintenance and resurfacing.
Examples
Is the road or pavement the Council's responsibility?
We can't repair problems on roads that are private, unadopted or owned by an organisation like a supermarket.
