Potholes not puddles!
Following the recent prolonged spell of bad weather, please don’t assume a puddle is just a puddle! Underneath could be lurking a nasty pothole, so please avoid riding through them. You can report potholes to Southend Council either online at www.southend.gov.uk or 01702 215000
