A Nottinghamshire resident has raised concerns after potholes he reported to council bosses had allegedly been checked within a matter of hours. Colin Smith, 39, of Kirkby-in-Ashfield, reported almost 30 potholes to Nottinghamshire County Council on Wednesday, November 23, but fears some were inspected incorrectly or not at all.
Of these potholes reported, ten were on the A38 and another 17 were on various roads across Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Sutton-in-Ashfield. Colin said: "It's an online system, where you go online and drop a pin on a map, give a brief description of what the issue is and you can add a photo. I think I reported ten on the A38 yesterday (November 23), just on a short stretch.
"Within I think three hours of me reporting them, all of the emails came back to say they have been to inspect them, it's absolutely fine, there are no issues and no repairs to be carried out. It just got me thinking how I was a bit unsure how they have inspected them as I reported them when it was dark.
