Report a problem on a road or pavement

Following recent rainfall, for the next few weeks we will be prioritising reports of floods that are a risk to road users or property. This means it will take longer than usual to investigate other drainage reports. We apologise for this delay.

You can report non-urgent issues online including:

  • street light faults
  • potholes
  • drainage
  • traffic signal faults
  • damage to bus stops (poles/timetables)
  • overgrown vegetation (including hedges and grass)
  • information about roadworks.

You can plot issues using a map or a non-map based address lookup. If you have any visual impairments or use a screen reader, we would recommend using the address lookup.

  • routine faults such as streetlights, potholes and soft landscape issues within 28 days, unless there is a more serious problem which could take longer
  • traffic signals within 4 hours if they are urgent or within 7 days if less urgent
  • drainage maintenance within 28-90 days
  • drainage investigations of defects or repeated flooding to be inspected within 28 days for strategic roads and 90 days for minor roads. A site flood risk assessment is carried out to determine further work required
  • all other faults will be scheduled in to our planned maintenance.
