Swindon Borough Council has reported that their teams are always working hard to improve the condition of our roads, which has lead to results which may surprise many people. In 2017 this meant fixing more than 5,900 potholes in and around Swindon, equivalent to more than 20 repairs every working day.
Over the past month, they have run a campaign to showcase the work of their Highways Team, shining a light on how they manage pothole repairs and encouraging the public to help us by reporting them.
In the first three weeks of the campaign, they received 78 new pothole reports from residents and fixed 347 potholes on Swindon’s roads and footpaths, including those identified by our highway inspectors.
When does damage in the road qualify for repair? Why do you just fill holes instead of repairing them properly? And how quickly will a pothole be filled?- you can find the answers to common questions like these on their website – HERE
