Dangerous road and pavement faults
Don't report online if the issue is an immediate and critical hazard to road users, for example:
- major debris and spillages - use this form to report the issue
- missing or seriously defective ironwork
Instead, check our opening times and call the most appropriate number:
- Customer Advice and Support: 0300 100 1800
- emergency out of hours: 01896 752111
What happens next?
To help us decide how quickly we need to take action various factors are considered, such as:
- risk to public safety
- size and depth of the pothole
- type, speed and volume of traffic on the road
- road alignment and visibility
- position of the damage
Once our investigation is complete, we’ll let you know what the next steps are if you logged into MyScotBorders or provided an email when you made your report.
