Dear Mr Dixon,
Information Request – Freedom of Information Act
Further to your request for information received on 21/09/2021 please find
enclosed the material that you asked for.
Please also note that during the period 2019 – 2020 BCP Council was formed
via the merger of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Councils.
As part of this process, three historical road works databases were
rationalised.
Please be aware that this means there could potentially be an
inconsistency in terminology inherent in the combined data.
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the number
of potholes reported in the council's area in the last three years (2018,
2019, and 2020).
Year Number of Potholes Reported

I hope that this deals with your request satisfactorily.
