In January this year a frustrated resident of Haywards Heath called for West Sussex County Council to repair a particularly deep pothole as well as a damaged drain.

A WSCC spokesperson said in response: “We totally understand people’s frustration with potholes, which is why we have dedicated extra resources and continue to act proactively in tackling the issue.”

The WSCC spokesperson said the council repaired around 41,000 potholes in the last financial year. They estimate they will repair about 49,000 this year. They added that ‘find and fix’ teams repair potholes in urban areas ‘there and then’.
