How can we make our local council fill in potholes?
Our Council does not seem to be concerned about filling in road potholes. Have you any advice as to what action we should take to make them take notice?

Report via www.fixmystreet.co.uk and www.potholes.co.uk with photos. This then creates a legal obligation on the council to fill the potholes or compensate motorists for any damage the potholes cause to their cars.
