Information about potholes on Leicestershire County Council Website:

All potholes need to be classified, before repairs can be scheduled.

When a member of the public reports a pothole, we will ensure an inspector visits and classifies the problem within 14 days.

The pothole is classified according to how serious it is and this dictates how quickly it is fixed:

Category 1 defects

• Require prompt attention as they represent an immediate or imminent hazard or a risk of short-term structural deterioration.
• These defects will be fixed or made safe at the time of inspection, if reasonably practicable.
• If it's not possible to fix or make the defect safe at time of inspection, repairs of a temporary, or permanent nature will be done within 3 working days.

Category 2 defects

• Require attention, but do not represent an immediate or imminent hazard.
• These defects have a target repair period of 90 calendar days from being reported by the public or will be included within a planned highways maintenance programme.
