FOI request (FOIR-519877037)

Pothole criteria and repair regime

Requested Tue 30 May 2023
Responded Tue 13 June 2023

I am getting in contact asking information regarding their road maintenance policies such as:

1. Has the council moved to a risk based approach when it comes to fixing potholes? If so, when did this happen? Ideally, the month and year but if not possible just year?

2. What is your safety inspection regime in terms of checking roads?

3. How do you classify road defects? Do you have a guide for this?

4. Do you have any guidance on when a repair needs to be made? How big does a defect need to get?

5. What is your intervention/investigatory criteria specifically for potholes? Has this changed? Could you provide me with the previous criteria, if so?
