Coventry City Council invests in JCB pothole machine to speed up road repairs

Coventry City Council has become the latest local authority to invest in a new pothole machine developed by Staffordshire digger maker JCB.

The authority has bought a JCB PotholePro following a successful trail of the machine which repaired more than 100 square metres of road in just two hours - an area the council says would normally take four days to fix using traditional methods.

Now the city council will use its very own PotholePro to help maintain more than 550 miles of road in the city.
