Fife Council is urging motorists to report damaged roads and pavements.
The local authority has set up an emergency number for dealing with reports of potholes after the thaw.
Head of transportation Dr Bob McLellan said, “Last year, in the 2009/10 winter period, we spent almost £6 million on activities relating to winter and the subsequent repair of damaged roads in Fife.
“It’s almost inevitable that our roads and pavements will have been affected by the current weather conditions, particularly residential roads. We will be inspecting and assessing any damage as soon as possible, once the current snow/frost operations are completed.
“Our focus at the moment is to make sure that all of Fife’s roads and footways are cleared of snow and ice at the earliest possible |opportunity. We would be grateful if the public could assist by reporting any major potholes, either via the FifeDirect website at www.fifedirect.org.uk/winter or by calling our emergency repairs number: 08451 55 00 99.”
