I had a problem with a pothole during the icy weather and found this useful step to step guide really useful:
www.potholes.co.uk/claims/step_by_step_guide
I reported the hole and it was fixed within a few days. I collected all the evidence, but when it came down to it felt that it would be difficult to win a claim because it all hinged on whether or not the Council were negligent in inspecting and maintaining the road. The pothole appeared, along with numerous others because of adverse weather conditions, and so I wasn't convinced that I would win the claim as prior to the snow the road was hole free. Needless to say at some point I will have to pay for the alloy wheel to be repaired, so perhaps I should have persevered and seen how successful a claim for compensation was.
