FOI request (FOIR-771067966)

Monthly data on potholes

Requested Thu 04 December 2025
Responded Wed 10 December 2025

I am writing to request some information about road maintenance under the Freedom of Information Act.

1. Please provide the number of potholes filled in each month from November 2021 to November 2025. These should be the same figures you use to compile the annual ‘Potholes Repaired’ numbers for the Local Highway Maintenance and Transparency Reports but broken down per month.

Please add in information about whether the methodology for how you collect these figures has changed.

2. Please provide also the number of potholes reported (both by the public and by your own inspectors) in each month from November 2021 to November 2025.

Please add in information about whether the methodology for how you collect these figures changed at any point.

Please provide such data in the format below, ideally as a spreadsheet.
