This site tracks pothole reports across Wiltshire, providing an interactive map and daily backlog charts based on data sourced from the council's reporting system.
Wiltshire's roads are atrocious. Years of underinvestment and poor maintenance have left them riddled with potholes, causing damage to vehicles and posing safety risks to drivers and pedestrians alike. The council's failure to address the issue has led to widespread frustration among residents, who are calling for urgent action to repair the roads and prevent further deterioration.
Residents have reported damage to their vehicles, including flat tires, bent rims, and suspension problems, as a result of hitting potholes. The council's response has been criticized as slow and inadequate, with many calling for increased funding and resources to be allocated towards road repairs.
In response to the growing backlog of pothole repairs, Wiltshire Council has issued new directives to all parish stewards, instructing them to prioritize pothole repairs above all other maintenance tasks. This decision comes after a recent surge in pothole reports across the county, with residents expressing frustration over the condition of local roads.
Residents can report potholes to the council through their website or by phone, but many have expressed frustration with the reporting process and the lack of communication from the council regarding repair timelines.
