139 out of 2,713 Essex motorists received pay-outs for pothole damage in 2023, a 5.1% success rate. Despite a 2.5x increase in pay-outs to £50,075, the chances of receiving compensation remain low due to Essex County Council admitting its roads are in "managed decline". The number of drivers pursuing claims rose from 1,277 in 2022 to 2,713 in 2023, but successful claims only increased slightly.
