- the total number of potholes reported to your council across your Local Road Network.
- the total amount of money spent compensating drivers for successful claims for vehicle damage from potholes in your Local Road Network.
- the total value of funding allocated by your council for road maintenance, relating directly to pothole reports and repairs across your Local Road Network.
