Subject: LARA News

The Pothole Partnership says that a radical new approach is needed, including 5-year warranties on every non-emergency pothole repair.

The Partnership:

issues new data revealing AA called out to 613,638 pothole incidents in 2025 – an average of 1,681 every day – including 58,380 last January and 58,275 in December;
welcomes government’s new traffic light system of monitoring local council performance on fixing potholes BUT says radical new approach is needed;
proposes that councils and contractors should be compelled to issue 5-year warranties on every non-emergency pothole repair;
issues reminder that while potholes can damage cars, they put the lives of cyclists and motorcyclists at risk;
urges greater use of innovation to make repairs permanent, in place of temporary manual ‘patch and run’ fixes which need re-visiting within months or weeks.
