An increasing number of potholes are opening up on our roads.

The recent bout of bad weather took its toll and potholes are appearing at an alarming rate.

KCC has announced a blitz on potholes, with the council leader Cllr Paul Carter (Con) promising an additional £1m to repair the holes between March and May.

It’s good news for motorists, although too late for many who claim their cars have already been damaged by falling into a pothole.

Jane Harris, from Sutton Valence, said she had to write off her Fiat Marea after it was damaged by a pothole in Shenley Road, Headcorn, last August. Five months later, she is still awaiting a response from KCC over whether they will approve her claim for £200 compensation.

KCC says the public can report any potholes 24 hours a day on their hotline 08458 247 800.

But we’d like to hear too. Send us details of your "favourite" pothole and - if it is safe to do so - send us a photograph too. Jpegs (minimum file size 500kb) are best.
