Repairing potholes can vary in duration depending on the situation, but Leeds has aimed to improve response and completion times for pothole repairs. Here's a general overview of the target response times for different types of repairs related to roads:
| Repair Type | Target Response Time |
|---|---|
| Emergency Repairs | Within 3 hours, make safe within 24 hours |
| Urgent (non-emergency) Repairs | Within 3-5 working days |
| Routine Repairs | Within 20 working days |
| Batched Repairs | Within 60 working days |
| Major Work | Agreed based on complexity and planning needs |
For potholes specifically, Leeds has been focusing on a project to improve the efficiency of repairs and increase the number of first-time permanent patch repairs rather than temporary fixes. If you notice a pothole that needs attention, you can report an issue.
