Report a fault, defect, or request a service
Our online reporting system is the gateway to our highways service, helping us to help you.
You can report a fault or a defect like a broken streetlight, a missing drain grate or a pothole. When you do this, you'll receive a unique reference number from us, to check on progress and to make any follow-up enquiries.
You can also request a service or an alteration to an existing service. Examples include new pavement, a streetlight, road signs, junction improvements, weight restrictions.
