More repairs than inspections

9th January 2012

My car was damaged by a pothole on a road which is inspected annually. The road was inspected three months before the incident and is inspected annually. The same pothole was repaired THREE times within nine months. How can it be that a pothole needs repairing so often but a council doesn't think the road needs inspecting more than annually?
They are claiming that the road is categorised such that annually is enough but this doesn't seem to match the code of practice recommendations for the usage of the road.

Sorry I phrased the question wrongly. If the hole needs repairing three times between inspections then is the inspection regime wrong for that road and do I have a claim?
