South Gloucestershire receives vital pothole cash
South Gloucestershire Council has received £897,000 in March 2011 from the Government to help repair winter damaged roads.
The Department for Transport cash will be used to pay for priority schemes which range from pothole repairs to patching and complete resurfacing projects.
The council has already put extra resources to combat potholes during 2011 with two additional teams to complement the existing four teams working across the district. These teams have already filled over 2500 potholes since the start of 2011.
On average, South Gloucestershire spends around £500,000 per year on repairing potholes and £200,000 on patching. In recent years, the council has invested an additional £2 million into road surfacing to deal with previously declining road conditions, and this has paid off by reducing the impact of the severe winter weather.
