Potholes are caused by the expansion and contraction of ground water after the water has entered into the ground under the pavement and mostly occurs in Spring when temperatures fluctuate above and below freezing point more.
They appear in various sizes and shapes and can cause damage to cars if not repaired so it’s important that we report them to Shropshire Council as soon as we see them – but do you know how?
You can report potholes on the Shropshire Council’s website however there is an even easier way which you can do direct from your phone when you’re out walking the dog!
Just download the Fix My Street App to your phone and when you see a pothole just take a picture, upload it on the App and mark the location. You will be notified when the pothole has been repaired and can track the progress of the repair and search for other reports in your neighbourhood.
The Fix My Street App is not just for potholes and you can report fly tipping, problems with light streets and more. Just visit www.fixmystreet.com to find out more.
