Auckland supercity promises to fix any report of an arterial pothole within 24 hours:

RNZ: Auckland Transport is pledging to plug almost every pothole on the region's key roads within a day of them being reported. It's again rolling out its pre-summer Pothole Promise campaign - 95 percent of potholes on Auckland's arterial and high-volume regional roads fixed within 24 hours.

It doesn't say what they will do with the remaining 5%. Report on link below. On mobile scroll a bit for guest access no login required. You'll be prompted for photo upload on the second page:

It's a good thing. It's hard to imagine how they could possibly keep up. It's the first time I've heard of this. I'll have something to do next time I'm in the passenger seat ; ).

If they don’t fix them quickly it will take even longer. I had an uncle who owned a tyre shop in Wellington. He was always going on about the amount of business he got from cars hitting potholes.

Think this has been policy since last year. Either they aren't being reported or AT are failing their targets or the 'easy' 95% they repair aren't on the roads I travel...

I would guess that Grafton road is arterial and it always seems to have potholes on it uphill between the hospital road intersection and the bridge over the motorway.
