The AA said it received 50,079 call outs to vehicles stranded due to faults likely caused by potholes last month.
Wet weather in July caused the number of pothole-related breakdowns to jump by nearly a fifth, new figures suggest
Jack Cousens, head of roads policy at the AA, said: “July’s rainfall caused more headaches for drivers with tyres, suspensions and steering mechanisms all being damaged as the rain and puddles hid the potholes lurking underneath. “With 2023 looking to be one of the worst years on record for pothole damage, we need to see more investment in local roads maintenance funding.
The Government increased its Potholes Fund – which provides money to councils in England to tackle the issue – by £200 million to £700 million for the current financial year.
