Dear Newcastle upon Tyne City Council,

Please can you provide the information requested below:

2.Number of fixed potholes that were reported in 2017.

Each reported pothole has been investigated and where a pothole has met
our criteria we will have issued a works order for a repair which will
usually be within 30 days with the most hazardous being repaired sooner.

3.Number of roadworks reported due to fixing potholes in 2017.

We do not report individual roadworks for pothole repairs.
