Pavement trip/pot hole damage

If you wish to make a claim against the council for injuries caused by a pavement trip, or pothole damage to your vehicle on the public highway, the claim should be made in writing giving the following information:

  • date
  • nature and cause of the accident
  • location such as the address of the property outside which the accident occurred (please include photographs of the accident location).

Your claim letter should be posted to Hillingdon Council, Contact Centre (Highways), Civic Centre, Uxbridge UB8 1UW or emailed to insuranceteam@hillingdon.gov.uk.

Where a pavement trip or vehicle damage involves a contractor or public utility such as gas, electricity, water, please contact them directly as they are responsible for their own insurance arrangements.
