Can I please request information on all road potholes reported to the council from 01 January 2000 to 31 October 2024 (including).
I would like the total annual number of potholes reported to the council – breakdown by calendar year. The information should relate to reports from both the public and from the council.
Please note, our data system only holds records dating back to 2007 and the information for 2007 is only for part of the year.
