Do you know about Nottinghamshire County Council's pothole reporting system?
For once I have to write in praise of Nottinghamshire County Council. If you Google Nottinghamshire Potholes you'll find a map-based reporting system. You identify where the hole is and leave your contact details. Notts CC has fixed every one I have reported so far within a couple of weeks, unlike Lincolnshire whose system is nowhere near as good and needed reminding twice till they eventually fixed one. Mind you, I do wonder at the logic: Notts CC has just repainted all the white lines on the roads in Ollerton (when they were perfectly ok) when there are minor repairs needed everywhere; and they'll soon be tar macadamed over.

I guess they got the idea from www.fixmystreet.co.uk and www.potholes.co.uk
