90% rise in claims for pothole compensation
Daily Post
|December 29, 2025
POTHOLE compensation claims made to councils in Britain have spiked by 90% in three years, according to new analysis.
-
RAC research found 53,015 claims were submitted to 177 local authorities in 2024, compared with 27,731 claims in 2021.
Of the councils which provided data, Derbyshire County Council saw the biggest increase in claims over that period, from 224 to 3,307.
That was followed by Glasgow City Council, which saw its annual total more than double from 1,140 to 2,794.
Oxfordshire County Council was ranked third, with 488 claims in 2021 and 1,941 in 2024.
The RAC described the overall increase since 2021 as "concerning", but noted that the 2024 total represented a 6% decline from 56,655 in 2023.
The study also indicated that just 26% of claims made last year resulted in payouts.
