This comes as Reading residents have been reporting a variety of potholes across Reading on the Fix My Street website.

This service allows any person to report incidences that they may come across causing inconvenience or danger to road users or pedestrians.

Resident, Michael Lawrence reported several severe potholes on King Street on September 20, 2022.

He said: "Some severe potholes here caused by high traffic and buses most likely. Damaging even cycling over. Worst I have seen in a long time up the entire stretch to Broad Street."

Another road user from Reading reported potholes on Berkeley Avenue that ‘spanned the whole carriageway and needed urgent attention.’

He explained: “The road surface is very dangerous with huge potholes and has been like this for months and months.”

The latest report about potholes came on November 1 when an anonymous source sent a notice to Reading Borough Council that they discovered a number of potholes joining together in Queens Road at the traffic lights of Sidmouth Street.

Following an increase in budget for use on all roads across the country, Reading Borough Council has said that they have increased their work on resurfacing the roads in order to remove the potholes reported.

A spokesman from Reading Borough Council said: “Reading Borough Council has increased the proportion of roads classified as in good condition from 35% to 80% through substantial investment in road resurfacing improvements in the past 3 years. This has also resulted in the number of potholes recorded falling from 5,020 in 2016/17 to 1,221 in 2022/23, a fall of 76%.

“The Council is at the beginning of a 5-year £8m investment in road resurfacing this year, continuing on from the substantial progress made by a £9m investment in roads from 2020-23.

"Those works not only brought about the significant improvements in the quality ratings of our road surfaces which targeted a reduction in potholes, but it also saw other general enhancements to the highway network.

“These included pavement and verge improvements and new resurfacing methods which reduced our carbon footprint, efforts which saw our Highways Team win the prestigious MJ Award for Best Council Services Team in the country in June.”
