If you have an emergency at any time that requires immediate attention, such as flooding or a fallen tree, please call the Emergency Control Room on 01803 550405

You can use this form to report problems with roads, pavements, and other public spaces in Torbay (called 'highways').

How to report a problem with highways

If you are reporting a pothole, broken paving slab, or other defect that is present on a named street then you can search for the street. You can then use the street map to draw the exact location of the defect and describe what the problem is.

If you are reporting a defect that isn't on a named street, for example in a park or car park, search for a nearby street and then use the map controls to find the correct location.

You will need to enter a street for each defect you report so it is important that you have the information ready. If you do not know the name of the street then you may be able to find it from the street map.

If you have any problems using this form or cannot position the defect you are reporting then you can phone 01803 207740 (8am - 5pm) and our officers will help you report the problem. Outside of office hours you can leave a message.
