Q1. How many personal injury claims from pedestrians where potholes were stated as the cause were brought against your local authority in the following years: 2023, 2024, 2025?



Q2. Relating to Q1, how many of those claims were settled by the council in each year: 2023, 2024, 2025?



Q3. What is the total sum paid by your local authority for personal injury claims where potholes were stated as the cause in each year: 2023, 2024 and 2025?

 

I just wanted to clarify that the data I have requested relates to both pedestrians and cyclists - we're looking to find out information on claims from anyone not travelling in a motorised vehicle.
