How To Report A Pothole

Posted by Dan Davies On January - 20 - 2010

The snow has melted leaving behind huge potholes on many of Birmingham’s roads. So what can we do about it?

The council has set up two numbers to help. You can report a pothole on 0121 303 6644 (daytime) or 0121 303 4149 (evening / weekends). We also recommend that you contact FixMyStreet who will pester the council on your behalf. This way you have a record of the complaint and can see its progress.

All the salmon pink pinpoints on the map below are potholes currently reported on the FixMyStreet site. Ones with spots are confirmed, without spots are unconfirmed.

If know any unconfirmed potholes are still unfixed, paste the pinpoint website address into the browser and add a comment on FixMyStreet. Let’s get these holes patched up!
