Potholes
Report a pothole
Tell us if you see a pothole on a road, pavement or walkway in Gateshead.
You will need to tell us the exact location of the pothole.
We assess each pothole by the risk it poses to road users. The factors to we take into account include:
- size and depth of the pothole
- traffic type, speed and volume
- road alignment
- visibility
- the position in the road.
We aim to repair potholes within 4 weeks of being reported.
