We publish statistics as part of the Council's commitment to openness and transparency and to meet our statutory obligations under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002. We update these tables every quarter.
These statistics are broken down into claims for potholes by financial year and the aim is to respond to common Freedom of Information (FOI) requests.
