Website of the Week (WC 22nd March 2010) - Fill That Hole

Date	Monday, March 22, 2010
Topic	Culture, Leisure, Sport & Tourism Public Services Performance Environment Governance & Civic Participation Infrastructure Quality of Life

This week's Website of the Web is Fill That Hole (www.fillthathole.org.uk) - a community action website brought to the web by CTC – The UK’s National Cyclists’ Organisation.

If you would like to nominate a regional or local site with an environmental flavour please contact info@yhref.org.uk.

About the Website

Potholes and road defects are more than just a nuisance; they’re a danger to cyclists and other road users. In the UK, there’s an average of one pothole for every 110 metres of road.

What can I do?

Local councils have a duty to ensure roads are maintained, but if they don’t know about a pothole, they can’t fill it in. So if you want to get it repaired, you have to report it. CTC, the UK’s national cyclists’ organisation, is asking all road users to report potholes and hazards on this website.

We contact the right people for you to get the roads repaired. Anecdotally, we know that the majority of potholes reported on www.fillthathole.org.uk are filled quickly, although local councils don’t always tell us as soon as they have fixed the problem.

Reporting potholes can make cycling safer for everyone. Report a pothole now.
