Drivers and pedestrians have been encouraged to report potholes through an online service.
The freezing weather has caused a rise in damaged roads and pavements, and Hounslow and Richmond councils have been concerned about risk of injury.
Councillor David Trigg, Richmond Council’s transport boss, said: “We can’t promise to fix every pothole straight away, our resources are already being well used, but the more reports we receive, the more likely the dangerous ones will be given attention.”
To report potholes to the council online go to hounslow.gov.uk/online_forms or richmond.gov.uk/potholes.
We want you to tell us about the worst roads in Richmond and Hounslow for a special report on potholes.
Email our pothole correspondent Paul Teed pteed@london.newsquest.co.uk, or call him on 020 8744 4273.
