Police Commissioner encourages residents to report potholes

Police and Crime Commissioner John Dwyer is encouraging residents across the county to report potholes to their local authorities, after hearing from residents involved in collisions after trying to avoid them.

Police and Crime Commissioner, John Dwyer said:

“It’s concerning to hear that the actions motorists are taking to avoid making contact with bad potholes can actually cause an even greater danger on our roads.

“While potholes aren’t a policing issue on their own, I encourage everyone to report them to their local council so they can gather the intelligence about where they are and come up with a solution to fix them. We all have a part to play in making Cheshire’s roads even safer.”
