Pothole

A council in North Wales has paid out almost £800,000 in insurance claims over the past five years, according to the BBC. 

Anglesey council paid out £793,234 between 2010-2011 and 2014-2015 on a total of 311 claims.

In 2010-2011, it paid out £354,507, falling to £32,805 in 2014-15.

There are still 100 unsettled claims dating to 2010, with £1.2m reserved to cover any potential costs.

Insurance claims included public liability, employer’s liability, motor, and property.

A report for the council said there had been a “significant” increase in public liability claims since 2012.

“This increase is mostly due to an increase in highway-related claims, such as damage to vehicles on potholes,” the report said.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
