Residents can now call a 24-hour pothole repair hotline after they named it their number one highways priority.

Haringey Council will spend an extra £200,000 in repairing potholes throughout the borough.

As part of the blitz, a new highways inspector will now identify potholes and order their repair in each of Haringey's 19 wards.

Councillor Brian Haley, cabinet member for environment and conservation, said: "We've virtually doubled our budget for repairing potholes, appointed a new inspector with the sole job of identifying potholes and getting them fixed, set new targets for making repairs, and introduced a new hotline to enable people to report potholes more easily.

"We're confident that this blitz will make a real impact in improving road conditions for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, and I hope residents will help us by making use of the hotline and reporting potholes whenever they appear."

The council says all reports will be followed up by the next working day, all repairs will be made within a target of seven days and residents will be notified once this has been completed.
