Roads set for pothole repairs confirmed by Shropshire Council
Potholes on several roads across Shropshire are to be treated in the coming weeks.
Shropshire Council has announced that its two Multihog road-planer machines will be tackling potholes on 12 roads throughout September, as well as issues on footpaths.
The Multevo Multihog machine planes off the road surface, removing the top layer, to enable a squared-off hole to be filled.
The council says it is quicker than having to saw-cut and break-out the defective section of the road by hand.
Alongside treating potholes on roads, the Multihog machine will also assist with the resurfacing of 10 footpaths across the county.
The council's Multihog machines and their crews are set to treat the following roads in the coming weeks:
