Shropshire Council has announced two Roadmaster vehicles are being deployed to tackle potholes on rural roads.

The vehicles operate during the sping and summer months fixing potholes and other imperfections using a spray injection patching technique.

David Vasmer, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for highways and environment, said: “We are determined to get on top of the pothole problem, which has been made worse by the recent wet and cold weather – a situation faced by other councils across the country

“The Roadmasters help us to repair potholes quickly to a high standard, and they therefore make a huge difference to our rural roads.

“Along with the work of our pothole teams, and our work to surface dress and resurface roads across the county, the Roadmasters will play a big role in our efforts to reduce the backlog of pothole repairs.

“People can also help us by reporting any potholes that they spot.”
