Claiming is never as straight forward as should be, worth checking on net making sure you cover all the necessary parts on the initial letter

didnt think you can still claim

I would contact your local highways dept, they should point you in the right direction for claims.

Trouble is, it needs to have been reported first, otherwise they are not negligent if they dont know about it. Ask me how i know....

Where is the pothole macspeedy? cans guys on here not report it first then you can put your claim in?

Driving back frpm the Brabon Hill Climb last year on the A683 from Sedburgh towards Kirby Stephen it was like doing an autotest such were the number of holes. Problem was that there was an RS Owners Club road run and some of those guys coming the other way were not slackening off giving you little room for manouvre.

driving back from barbon may be worse this year ,there is more potholes than tarmac on A683 now. .m.

Can you not report it, then make the claim a few days later

some guidane on claiming here and also info on previously reported potholes
