Potholes damage to cars - how to claim
You can write to the insurance team at Haringey Council and request a claim form - insurance@haringey.gov.uk
If enough people do this and persist then they might start doing something about it.

Do you ever report potholes? I often use fixmystreet or LoveCleanStreets to report potholes, with varying success but at least I've made sure the council knows about it. I don't have a car but I sometimes cycle, so I'm more concerned about damage to myself. And it can be particularly dangerous if I swerve around a pothole at the precise moment sometime in a car decides to close pass me.

The main reason for increased rate of pot-holes in London is that so many rich Yuppies drive around in huge, heavy, SUVs, as if they were in the Himalayas and not a leading world city. Ban the SUVs, and local councils could keep up with mending pot-holes. When petrol-heads write in to dispute this, first tell us if you have an SUV in your household. Ye shall know them by their fruits.

I do get really annoyed by all of the damage I see to roads and pavements and I think "it's my council tax that has to pay for this". Lots of cars and vans park on the pavement outside my flat. They killed the tree I paid £200 to have planted there.
SUVs take up so much space, owners should have to pay a lot more for parking and the money should go towards fixing the roads.
