Lincolnshire County Council has a statutory duty to maintain adopted roads and paths (the Highway) within the County. Maintenance of the highway includes making safe potentially dangerous defect such as potholes.
Potholes are defined as a defect in the highway surface, which is surrounded by surfacing material on all sides. Edge damage generally occurs on uncurbed rural roads and is generally caused by vehicles overrunning the verge.
Potholes can develop over short periods of time and depending on the size, depth and location there will be a greater or lesser risk to the general public. The response of the County Council will be dependent on the severity of the reported defect.
