Trafford Council complaint: Poplar Road Pothole Damage

On 01/05/2023 at approximatley 12.30 i was driving along poplar road in stretford when i felt and heard and bang from below my car and the car started drifting to the left, i immediatley pulled over and noticed the tyre was flat and assumed it was a puncture, but looking behind me i could see a pothole in the road that seemed like a good contender to be an olympic sized swimming pool.

I changed my tyre assuming it to be just a blow out but the car was still driving funny, i called a mechanic and recovery company out to come and help me and it turns out the pothole had caused my cars rear axel and shock absorbers to snap. This has caused me to have to now get taxis and public transport with my daughter, lose out on a prebooked / prepaid MOT on the vehicle and caused arround £500 worth of damage in additition to the recovery and breakdown call out costs.

I have since found out this pothole has damaged a lot of vehicles in the local area and has been reported numourous times but nothing seems to have been done, please advice on how and where to make a claim for damages please as this is totaly unaccetable
