Pothole and resurfacing repair costs - Find a freedom of information request

1. Could you give me the number of potholes which have been resurfaced on more than one occasion in the last five years in Lincolnshire please? - And what are the locations of these potholes

 

a) How much does it cost to repair a pothole? 

b) How much would it cost to resurface the affected road? 

c) How many times have potholes on the A16, Cowbit Road to Peterborough been repaired? 

 I can confirm that the following information is held by Lincolnshire County Council;

1. Unfortunately, Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) are unable to answer this question as it is impossible to identify from LCC’s asset management system as the coordinates are not reliably accurate enough. Also, LCC very often find that the area immediately adjacent to a completed pothole repair will require repair at some point in the future making differentiating between the repairs impossible.
 
a) A pothole repair generally costs around £45 although this can vary significantly depending on the response time and individual site conditions LCC’s response times are defined within the Highways Asset Management Plan Highways infrastructure asset management plan - Policies, strategies and plans – Lincolnshire County Council

b) The cost to resurface a road can vary greatly depending on the type of treatment required, the depth of repair, the area to be treated, and several additional factors such as traffic management requirements or utility company apparatus mean that each site will vary greatly. Therefore, without specific information it is impossible to answer this question.

c)  Since LCC entered into a new Contract in April 2020, our highways contractor has visited the A16 Spalding Bypass (Cowbit) to B1166 and A16 - B1166 (Crowland) to the county boundary on 26 occasions and fixed 86 potholes (61 on the A16 Cowbit and 25 on the A16 Crowland).
