Online tools, which will help get potholes fixed and off-road trails cleared of obstructions, have been launched by CTC. Using the new system at fillthathole.org.uk you can zoom into any road in the UK, mark the location of the defect, and let the authority know about it, which then has a duty to take action. It takes no longer than 2 minutes to use, and it’s possible to include photos, measurements and other useful information, which other people will be able to see. A similar facility at clearthattrail.org.uk allows cyclists to report off-road obstructions. CTC Director Kevin Mayne said: “Potholes and other road defects are more than just a nuisance; they’re a danger to cyclists. Reporting problems like this can be a chore, but our online facility has made it quick and easy.”
