Potholes

We employ a number of highway inspectors who regularly check all adopted roads and footpaths for defects including potholes.

Report a pothole or highway defect

To report a pothole or highway defect contact us on 01482 300 300. We will ask -

• for a description of the pothole or defect
• its location

You can also report a pothole online using the form below -

To report a pothole on the A63/A1033 trunk road (Clive Sullivan Way, Castle Street, Garrison Road and Hedon Road) contact The Highways Agency on 08457 50 40 30 or email ha_info@highways.gsi.cov.uk

What happens next

We will inspect any problem within 24 hours of the time you report it to us and decide whether we can or should repair it.

As there are more potholes than usual this year due to the severe weather conditions we experienced in January and February, we will repair the worst first.  These are the ones which pose the biggest safety risk to motorists, cyclists and other road users including pedestrians.

We have repaired 5195 potholes so far this year.

If you want us to tell you what we decide to do, let us know when you first contact us.

Adopted roads

An adopted road is a road that is maintained through public money, for example by the council. Some roads are owned privately, and it is the owner's responsibility to take care of them. If you report a pothole and we find out it is on a private road, we will try to contact the owner to report the problem.
