Dear Uttlesford District Council,

1) How many claims has the Council received from motorists in the last 12 months (to most recent available) because of damage caused by potholes?

2) How many of these claims were successful?

3) What is the total amount that has been paid out as a result of the successful claims?

Yours faithfully,
