Have you taken a look at our process? If things are as you suggest then the council are probably liable for your damages, it certainly sounds like they are operating incorrectly. Go to our "How to claim" page then visit the "Step by step guide" and see where you could start. The first thing i would suggest is an FOI request for the road to see when exactly it has been inspected and repaired.
