WEBSITE STREET REPAIRS TEAMS UP WITH MONEYSUPERMARKET TO PROVIDE A HELPING HAND AGAINST POTHOLE PROBLEMS.
www.streetrepairs.co.uk has formed its biggest alliance to date by joining forces with MoneySuperMarket, the UK’s number one price comparison site.
With an aim of working together to get trouble spots on our roads fixed, users on the MoneySuperMarket website can now register pothole problems here and accessing Street Repairs’ reporting tool.
Mr Mahoney MD of Street Repairs stated: “We are very proud to be working with one of the UK’s most recognisable and much loved brands. We have provided MSM our powerful API software for use in their website”

The UK’s roads are in a state of disrepair – not only is the government looking at a £12billion repair bill to bring them up to scratch, motorists are shelling out around £100million a year in repair bills due to damage caused by potholes.
And as if that wasn’t enough, local authorities are paying out more than £30million in compensation claims made as a result of poor roads.
So potholes are proving a very costly problem for all concerned.
The trouble is, if the council doesn’t know the hole is there, it can’t repair it. So it’s the responsibility of all road users to report a pothole so it can go on the repair list – and join the existing potholes which, if bundled together, would occupy 295 square miles of our green and pleasant and increasingly pockmarked land.
Here’s how you can easily do your bit…
Reporting a pothole
If you hit a pothole, instead of simply cursing at the state of the road and going on your way, report the problem to the local authority.
To make the reporting process a whole lot easier, we’ve teamed up with Street Repairs to bring you this handy tool – just fill in the blanks and your local authority will be alerted to the problem and hopefully fill in the pothole…
Ends…….

You can help keep your neighbourhood and roads safe, clean and inviting, by reporting any maintenance problems you notice to your local authority. In the past it has been difficult and time consuming to make a report, with residents needing to track down the correct department, follow the right procedure or even identifying the correct location of the defect. Trying to follow a reported fault can also be tedious, with Street Repairs it’s easy to follow your report as we keep you updated with regular text messages and emails. Our systems will identify your location, find the right council and keep you posted on progress.
Street Repairs makes the whole process much easier, by providing one website through which residents can submit any problem, to any local council anywhere, anytime. Smartphone technology has allowed residents to report problems in real time. You can attach photographs and give a detailed description whilst out and about. Basically we have handed street fault reporting power over to you the public.
Once the problem is reported, our work is only just beginning. We try to work with councils to help them prioritise the works that need carrying out which assists in managing their maintenance budgets. We also encourage and closely monitor their progress and follow up on all cases submitted via the Street Repairs. Progress updates from the council are regularly requested to ensure a satisfactory outcome for local residents and the council.
Street Repairs is committed to making it as easy as possible for local people to report local problems to their local council. We then try to work with the council to get these issues resolved, while keeping the original informant up-to-date with the progress being made.
