Roads: Repairs and Maintenance
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government how they define the term ‘pothole’.
- Answer
-
There is no nationally agreed definition of a pothole. It is up to local authorities to decide which surface defects on the highway to treat, following a risk-based approach. This is set out in the best practice document “Well Managed Highway Infrastructure: A Code of Practice”, which is available online.
