The council assesses the severity of a pothole based on a set of specific intervention thresholds outlined in their highways maintenance policy. The main criteria include the size of the pothole, which typically considers its width, length, and depth.
| Criterion | Details |
|---|---|
| Width | X cm |
| Length | Y cm |
| Depth | Z cm |
These measurements help determine whether a pothole is classified as requiring urgent repair or can be scheduled for later maintenance. For more detailed procedures or specific measurements, the council's highways maintenance policy may provide additional context.
