Pothole reports and repairs
Dear Nottingham City Council,
I am requesting information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 regarding potholes in the council area. I understand different councils may define potholes and repairs differently, so I would appreciate clarification if your council applies a specific threshold for logging or repairing potholes.
I would like to request the following data for the past five calendar years (2020–2024):
1. The number of potholes recorded each year, including potholes reported by the public and confirmed through council inspections (if these are reported differently)
2. The number of individual potholes repaired each year, including temporary repairs (e.g., patching) and permanent repairs (e.g., resurfacing). Note this refers to the number of individual potholes that were repaired, not the total number of repairs.
3. The total annual cost of pothole repairs, if available.
If the data is recorded differently, I would appreciate any comparable figures you can provide, along with a brief explanation of how pothole reports and repairs are logged in your system.
If this request exceeds the cost limit under the FOI Act, please let me know how it may be refined to remain within the statutory limits.
Thank you for your help; please let me know if you require any clarification or have any questions.
All the best,
Jamie Dixon
