Motorists whose vehicles suffer damage as a result of a pothole in Dumfries and Galloway have a less than 50-50 chance of receiving compensation from the council.
New figures show that the local authority’s insurers have paid out more than £200,000 in compensation in the last three years.
Nearly £125,000 of that figure was in 2021/22, with 224 of the 524 claims – around 42 per cent – successful.
