Potholes are prolific in London. A report by the Asphalt Industry Alliance (AIA) said that London local authorities have filled in 847,127 potholes in the last decade — one every six minutes on average.
In March, Sir Kir Starmer said that English councils must prove that they are tackling potholes or risk losing funds, yet the RAC estimates that UK drivers encounter more than one million potholes annually.
