Sutton Council has successfully bid for extra funds from the Coalition Government’s £168million Pothole Repair Fund to maintain standards on Sutton’s roads – winning an extra £300,000 for this work. Between April 2013 and March 2014, Sutton Council repaired over 1,950 potholes compared  to just over 700 potholes in the previous year.

Cllr. Alan Salter says: “Money from this successful bid will help us significantly improve our roads and pavements. We are hopeful of meeting our aim of fixing every single pothole reported to the Council this year, something we proudly achieved in 2013. We’d like to encourage residents to be our eyes on the ground by reporting any potholes that they see. Please contact us with your details and location details of the potholes that need attention. We will then contact Sutton Council on your behalf and have them repair them.”
