Fill That Hole?!

macleod113

i recently downloaded the Fill that hole app and used it for the first time on monday.

a large nan bread shaped pothole 18" into the road and approx 3" deep has been a pain for a while. i took a pic and sent off the details on the app.

on wednesday the hole was there no longer.

now is this miraculous service or do you reckon its been on the councils list for a while?

i've been avoiding it for months now!

how much joy have you all had using the app/reporting holes?

Not used that app, but I've certainly had similar turnaround on some of the reports I've done.

As I understand it, the council are potentially liable for damage caused by a pot hole if they haven't kept up a reasonable inspection regime for the road, or if they've ignored an explicit report.

The ones I've reported in my corner of West Oxon have been inspected within one working day of the report, and usually fixed shortly after.

Yes, it works. I've had a few holes filled and whole stretches resurfaced following reports. Android app would be great.

I'm downloading that NOW.

Some of the roads near me are shocking.

Doesn't work that fast in Buckinghamshire......generally takes about 3 months before they pull digit out of orifice!

Never the less it's a great tool!!

I wish more people would use this website etc.
I need a new back wheel because of 2 pot holes that I had not reported, but when I did they were fixed in 3 days as I said damaged was done(did not know rear rim was flatted, not repairable).
Other pot holes take years to fix but if someone else has a problem with it thay have a chance of getting the damage paid for if already reported.
