Many of us encounter them with some unfortunate drivers sustaining damage to their vehicles along the way.

The Daily Echo is inviting readers to send us their photos of potholes or road issues causing problems where you live.

Last week, we reported a woman had been taken to hospital after tripping over a pothole in the road during a visit to Bournemouth.

Ann Nightingale, 77, tripped over a pothole and ‘wacked’ her head on the ground in East Cliff.

In response, BCP Council said its teams carry out regular inspections of the network and complete an average of 8000 repairs to the network per year.

And earlier this week, it was announced Dorset will be getting more than £4 million to help with repairing potholes and damaged roads.
