Dear Information Requests,
Thank you for the information, the wording isn't entirely clear, however.
"Number of potholes deemed actionable by inspectors from members of the public and total numbers of potholes issued by the council."
Does mean the number of potholes reported? What does PI/Blue mean?
Yours sincerely,
Aimee Stanton

Dear Amy
We have contacted the service and below is clarity on the response given to your request.
"Number of potholes deemed actionable by inspectors from members of the public and total numbers of potholes issued by the council."
Does mean the number of potholes reported? The totals are everything actioned i.e requests from the public, statutory inspections
What does PI/Blue mean?
PI/Blue indicates it's been reported in by members of the public and is a performance indicator.
Kind Regards
