We’d like to find out more about how you’re affected by potholes in your area.

The number of UK drivers concerned with the state of local roads has hit record levels, according to the RAC, as the government faces pressure to fix the country’s battered infrastructure.

The motoring body revealed that 73% of those surveyed believed local roads were in a worse state than a year before, up from 67% last year. Separate RAC data found that its operatives had attended more than 25,000 pothole-related breakdowns in the past 12 months.

What is the state of local roads where you live? Have you experienced any damage – or tried to get potholes fixed? Has the situation improved?

If you have taken any photos of potholes near you in the past, please send them in.
