With all the wet weather our teams have been flat out fixing road issues across our extensive road network. Many thanks to all the people who have been proactive in reporting the road issues to us. When it comes to reporting road issues, taking photos really helps our roading teams to prepare an effective response.

Photos can provide valuable visual information that helps the teams assess the situation, and decide how many people will be required, and what materials and equipment will be needed to resolve the problem. For example, sometimes our teams have to drive for more than an hour to assess a verbal or written roading report, and then make a plan to fix the issue. If a photo is sent though,  a plan could be formed earlier, enabling teams to arrive on the scene with the right materials, equipment and personnel required for the job.

In addition, photos can help our teams to prioritise their responses. By seeing the severity of the issue, our teams can make informed decisions on which problems to address first.
