County Council Services

- to report a highway problem in Cambridgeshire, including potholes:
https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/residents/travel-roads-and-parking/roads-and-pathways/roadworks-and-faults/
Note: trunk roads and motorways in England are maintained by National Highways rather than the local county, for these you will need to use a different portal – https://report.nationalhighways.co.uk/ – or (preferably) phone their Customer Contact Centre on 0300 123 5000.
In an emergency, don’t use the web: call 999 instead. - Roadwork and traffic information
