Potholes are holes in a road where the surface has been damaged, they should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent accidents. Potholes in Eden are repaired by Cumbria Highways on most of the roads. Potholes on the M6 Motorway are repaired by the Highways agency. If a road is unadopted potholes are usually the responsibility of the nearest resident. For more details see Cumbria County Council's webpage on potholes.
