If the pothole is on a private road, West Lothian says the responsibility for maintaining it lies with the owner of the land or property fronting onto the road. For advice on upgrading private roads, contact the Roads and Transportation Services Development Planning team.

If you’re checking whether the road is council-maintained, West Lothian also says to use its online map facility, and to include a property address and a plan if possible when emailing.
