Report a Pothole in Telford

Potholes on roads in and around Telford are the responsibility of Telford & Wrekin Council, the local highways authority. Reporting one takes a couple of minutes — and reports are what get roads onto the repair schedule.

Report it to Telford & Wrekin Council

Use the council's own reporting service — you'll need the road name and a rough location. Photos help, and most services let you check whether the pothole has already been reported:

You can also report via FixMyStreet, which forwards reports to the right council and shows what's already been logged near you.

Motorways and major A-roads

Motorways and some trunk A-roads are maintained by National Highways, not the council — report problems on those roads there instead.

Pothole damaged your car?

If a pothole damages your wheel, tyre or suspension, you may be able to claim from Telford & Wrekin Council. Photograph the pothole (with something for scale), note the exact location and date, keep repair receipts, and submit a claim through the council. Claims are often refused where the council didn't know about the defect — which is another reason reporting matters.
