Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will issue guidance to local highway authorities to ensure they have comprehensive and effective programmes to identify and repair potholes that require urgent attention.
Guidance to local highway authorities to ensure they can identify and repair potholes that require urgent attention is set out in the Well Managed Highway Infrastructure Code of Practice, which is issued by UK Roads Liaison Group and endorsed by the Department for Transport. The Code provides guidance on areas including preventative maintenance and ensuring authorities are delivering “right first time” repairs. The guidance can be found here:
