During periods of wet and cold weather, water gets into the road surface and freezes. It expands and breaks up the surface of the road.
That's made worse when vehicles drive over the broken parts.
Please report any potholes you see. We can then assess them and repair the most serious ones. Sometimes this may be a temporary fix, for instance, if the road is due to be resurfaced completely.
Track or subscribe to a fault if a pothole has already been pinpointed on our map. There's no need to report it again and multiple reports don't get dealt with quicker.
