Hertfordshire Highways are encouraging residents to report potholes on the road network, following a big increase in the number of potholes appearing as a result of the recent cold and wet weather.
Please report any potholes online on their website to ensure that any road maintenance faults get to the right team quickly, and that they prioritise those that need the most urgent attention.
They aim to make the most significant potholes safe within 24 hours, but the majority of potholes that are big enough to need rapid attention receive a first-time permanent repair either within 5 days or within 20 days, depending on factors like the size of the pothole and how busy the road is. They are currently achieving this over 98% of the time.
