Report a Pothole

We are continuing to fix potholes as part of our £7.5 million Pothole Blitz. Since the beginning of the year, we've fixed over 26,000 potholes in response to over 14,000 received fault reports.

Our highways crews are busy repairing potholes across Kent. This includes individual pothole repairs as well as resurfacing larger sections of  road to improve quality.

We regularly check Kent's roads and pavements for potholes and other defects. When we find a problem, we log it for repair. Busy routes are inspected frequently but quieter routes are inspected less often.

You can let us know about any potholes below, by pinpointing the location of the pothole on the map. This will help us schedule repairs as quickly as possible.

We are not responsible for motorways or trunk roads in Kent, so please contact Highways England.

How long it takes

We prioritise potholes according to how unsafe they're making the road. Not all potholes are a priority, but we do aim to fix all that are identified.

How we carry out repairs

We aim to make a permanent, quality repair by cutting out a small section of the road around the hole, clearing out the old material and filling it with new tarmac. If a road has lots of potholes we may need to complete a larger patch or resurface the whole section.

For emergency potholes, we sometimes make an instant repair by quickly filling the hole. This is to make the road safe straightaway whilst we schedule a full permanent repair to prevent potholes from forming in the future.

We are working with our contractors to find quicker and more efficient ways to fill in potholes.
