Double the number of potholes filled!
Nearly double the number potholes were repaired across Essex in 2023 following significant investment - 11,949 potholes were fixed compared to a 90% increase from 6,280 pothole repairs in 2022. The extra funding by our conservative administration meant we could hire 11 additional crews to help carry out repairs – however there is still much more to do!
