3) Based on current repair rates and available resources, what is your estimated timescale to clear the entire backlog of reported but unrepaired potholes as of 30th June 2025? Please provide an answer in months or years.
Between the 1st and the 30th June, 161 potholes were repaired, but an additional 114 were reported (an overall decrease of 47). If you assume the same rate of reporting, then this would suggest the backlog would be cleared in just over 13 weeks.
