FOI Request - Compensation Claims from Road Users Due to Potholes
Request 101003252433
I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 to request information from Moray Council.
I would like to ask how many compensation claims you have received from road users regarding damage sustained by hitting a pothole since February 2018.
I would like a yearly breakdown for this information.
In addition, I would like to know how many of these claims were successful for the road users and resulted in the Council paying compensation.
Again, I would like a yearly breakdown for this information.
