*In April 2020, Lincolnshire County Council entered into a new Term Maintenance Contract and at this point the way in which the pothole data is measured, recorded, raised and reported changed significantly from the approach used in the previous contract. As such, a like for like comparison of cost per year, based on previous years, will no longer provide a fair reflection of the overall cost per year.
