There is a good website www.fillthathole.org.uk run by the CTC for reporting potholes to councils. Cheshire West & Chester are one of the best performing councils according to the website so get reporting those potholes now.
I've reported 4 this evening in Hartford and around Lach Dennis & Chelford which is on my way to work and will monitor progress over the next week.
Very easy to use and interactive mapping so just remember where they are and report them when you get home.
Alternatively there is an iphone app so you can report them while out an about.
Let's try and make those roads safer for everyone.
Cheers, Andrew.
Sounds like something we should all use. Lots found this morning!!! 😡
I have used this for my short route to work and the holes were filled reasonably soon but like all patch repairs this winter has opened them up again. So I will be posting details on the site again.
I'm already impressed.javascript:emoticonp(':)')
2 holes filled & the other 2 updated to "in progress".
Get reporting those holes and make the roads safer for everyone! 🙂

"This (CTC) league table ranks highway authorities according to hazards reported through FillThatHole.org.uk, and shows which authorities are best at fixing their road defects and reporting back to us.
We encourage highway authorities and hazard reporters to let us know when a road defect has been fixed. They can do this by replying to the emails we send them, using the contact form, or registering for an account and requesting to be associated with their authority."
Position 1 is 'Cheshire West and Chester' with 100 % reported being fixed. Those I have reported have all been fixed! 🙂
DAMN HOLES DESTROYED MY CAR SUSPENSION
