Potholes

Requested Wed 08 March 2023
Responded  Fri 10 March 2023

I would like to request under the Freedom of Information act data held by Hastings Borough Council relating to the amount of money paid out by the council concerning damage caused by potholes since 2016.

I would also like to receive the number of claims made against Hastings Borough Council and the number which have been settled. I would also like to know the number of outstanding cases against Hastings Borough Council.

I would appreciate it if this data could be broken down into damages/compensation paid to motorists and the amount the council has spent on legal costs.

I would also like information on the number of potholes Hastings Borough Council has awaiting repair on this date.
