Potholes: stats, procedure and compensation - follow up question
Dear Staffordshire County Council,
Thank you so much for helping me with a recent request regarding pothole claims and compensation.
It would be great to know if we can ask for a couple more pieces of information about this?
Out of the claims that you have received from damage caused by potholes, would you be able to let us know how many of these are still in progress and how many have been turned down for the last three years figures are available?
Thanks again for your help with this.
Best wishes,
Oliver
