Fewer than 11 per cent of claims to Stirling Council for compensation for damage caused to vehicles by potholes have been successful in the last three years, according to latest statistics.
Since 2020, the council has received 157 claims for expenses incurred as a result of damaged vehicles on the region’s crumbling roads. Of the number of claims received since then, just 17 have been successful, with a total of £4,369.75 paid out from the public purse.
Stirling Council publishes its figures for claims received and settlements paid out for each financial year, dating back to 2014/15.
