  • Hello,

    At approximately 2pm on Friday January 13th two of my car tyres were destroyed by a series of potholes in the central carriageway of the A3 as it runs under the New Malden roundabout.

    I missed several appointments during the afternoon, lost income and spent nearly £500 on making my car road worth again.

    Please could you direct me to the necessary source to claim compensation and advise me on the evidence required for my claim.

    Thank you Alex Bignell

  • Pothole still not been sorted I hit it on Saturday 15th April 2023 causing a blow out could of been very nasty just lucky not many other cars around me but due to this I’m now without a car until I can get my tyre fixed costing me £194 which I would like compensation as isn’t this what we pay taxes for!!!! But I’m guessing since the last person made a same comment back in January 14th 2023 this isn’t dangerous enough for you to consider fixing

  • I think I hit this same pot hole last night. I'm not sure I can even call it a pothole. It's was a chunk missing out of the road and could have caused a nasty accident, had I been going faster. Thankfully the roads weren't too busy and my child wasn't in the car. This is so far costing me £500 and I havent even inspected the suspension yet. How do I get compensation.
