A councillor has hit out after council workers took just a minute to complete a pothole repair. A viral video from a north Nottinghamshire town appears to show two workers throwing in a bag of instant road repair before packing the gaping hole out in a matter of seconds.
Councillor David Martin, who represents Selston for the Ashfield Independents, claimed Nottinghamshire County Council was "slipping into its bad habits yet again". The Conservative-led county council had promised more permanent fixes to potholes across Nottinghamshire following a much-requested review.
Following the review, the council pledged £15m towards better and more permanent road repairs, which included using fewer quick-fixes. The council had, however, stated it would not be a "magic bullet", with repair costs estimated in the region of at least £150m.
