Pothole Damage Claims on the Rise | Leeds News

from Leeds News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Potholes are wrecking cars—and drivers’ wallets—so here’s how to fight back: snap pics, report to your council, keep receipts, and demand proof they’re actually fixing roads. If they dodge you, appeal. Claims are up 25% this year, with Peterborough, Tonbridge, and Northampton leading the pack. The government’s road ratings show most areas still need work, especially between January and April. Average payouts jumped 41%, and while insurance can help, it might cost you excess and ding your no-claims bonus. Hold them accountable—your ride depends on it.
