Please note that we find that the term "pothole" is used by the public to cover a range of concerns, from surface crazing and ride quality to actual defects. As many of these concerns do not transpire to what we identify as potholes, we are providing data on jobs created specific to where a void has formed in the surface that requires a high priority (Cat 1) response in accordance with Nottinghamshire County Council Highway Inspection and Risk Manual

(https://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/media/1729316/highwayinspectionriskmanual.pdf).

We trust this now satisfies your request and that you find this information to be helpful.
