Pothole repairs


Our roads are inspected at least twice a year and footways inspected at least once a year – how often inspections take place depends on the classification of the road or footway.  These inspections are undertaken to detect defects with the potential to present a danger or nuisance to the travelling public, and to rectify them with an appropriate degree of urgency.  When a defect is found or is reported to us we will take the necessary action, depending on the size and location of the defect. 

Trunk roads are managed by Atkins on behalf of the Highways Agency. Any questions regarding these roads should be directed to W S Atkins rather than Suffolk County Council.  Potholes in Ipswich should be directed to Ipswich Borough Council.
