Three weeks is too long to wait for repairs. It should be three days maximum,\u201d Emma said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KCC received 2342 reports of potholes in the first week of January, compared to 667 reports in the week prior, and 338 in the same week of 2021 \u2013 the year Kent was named as Britain\u2019s \u201cpothole capital\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A KCC spokesperson said: \u201cSub-zero weather conditions can have a damaging impact on the road surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs soon as defects are reported to us, we work quickly to complete temporary repairs to remove immediate dangers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But like Emma, Becky Ashbee believes KCC aren\u2019t working quickly enough. Becky had to pay \u00a3250 on a new tyre, after hitting a pothole which caused it to bulge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said: \u201cI\u2019d never heard a bang so loud, and immediately knew it wasn\u2019t going to be a cheap fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRiver is plagued with potholes, and it\u2019s a full-time job just trying to avoid them. It\u2019s infuriating how long the council take to fix them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/centreforjournalismprojects.co.uk\/kentbuzz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/39aa825a-eaf5-488a-8277-20736a591590-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-781\" width=\"499\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/centreforjournalismprojects.co.uk\/kentbuzz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/39aa825a-eaf5-488a-8277-20736a591590-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/centreforjournalismprojects.co.uk\/kentbuzz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/39aa825a-eaf5-488a-8277-20736a591590-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/centreforjournalismprojects.co.uk\/kentbuzz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/39aa825a-eaf5-488a-8277-20736a591590-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/centreforjournalismprojects.co.uk\/kentbuzz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/39aa825a-eaf5-488a-8277-20736a591590-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/centreforjournalismprojects.co.uk\/kentbuzz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/39aa825a-eaf5-488a-8277-20736a591590-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The bulge on Becky&#8217;s tyre after hitting a pothole at 40mph<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Only 4% of drivers think the state of the local roads in their area has improved in the past 12 months, according to the RAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RAC figures were released to mark last week\u2019s National Pothole Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a local driving instructor, Angela Miller said she is having to avoid some routes where the potholes are at their worst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8220;It&#8217;s a nightmare,&#8221;
