All roads require regular maintenance to keep them in good condition.
Potholes are formed over time due to a combination of factors, starting with the natural wear and tear caused by traffic and the environment.
This video explains how potholes happen and how we repair them.
Repairing a pothole can take up to 2-hours, including the time to set-up the worksite so that it is safe for both roadworkers and road users.
It’s important to note that in times of wet, cold weather, long-term repairs and pothole filling will not last. We need dry, warm conditions to do longer-lasting repairs, so our contractors will complete temporary repairs to make the road safe until we can return in the warmer months to make longer-lasting fixes.
