Half of the 20 councils in England found to have the highest concentration of reported potholes are in the North, according to a new survey.
The West Yorkshire district of Kirklees was named as the worst offender in England and Wales in the survey based on Freedom of Information requests submitted by a driving school.
It had an average of almost 20 reports per mile of road – 23,513 across its 1,191-mile road network in 2022.
The figures are based on responses from 122 councils out of a total of around 150 which are responsible for roads.
Lancashire County Council had the second highest ratio of reports – more than 15 pothole reports per average mile and 67,493 in total.
A Kirklees Council spokesperson said it filled 37,538 potholes in 2022.
Lancashire County Council said it aimed to fix 90% plus of reported potholes within 20 working days.
