Huge pothole - mss1tw
I drove over a HUGE pothole on the way home (If you know the Harvester in Ottershaw off the M25, look near the town hall).

Is there anyway I can get the council to pay for tracking/any damage? It really did sound painful, no barriers round it or anything.

Does anyone know how I can report it and chase this up?

Police are looking into the matter...

You'll will have to ask the council to let you know its insurance company so you can contact it as soon as possible.

If you can get some photographs of the pothole showing its exact location in the roadway it will aid your cause.

Bromptonaut - They did and I have! Thanks!

Stuartli - I did turn around too but it was rush hour, dark, and pouring with rain so it would have been a non starter unfortunately.

Over several years I have regularly called Surrey CC, NOT Elmbrige, re potholes.
The lads have usually done the repair within a couple of days.

Is that what is known locally as Brook Hall?

Surely Woking council there?

Highway repairs are usually for the County (not the Borough/District) except where there are Unitary Authorities. H.

That's the one. Reported to SCC - will let you all know if I get anywhere with some reimbursement (Only had tracking/alignment done recently)
