Northumberland County Council is set to trial a new type of pothole repair that is hoped will produce long-lasting results.
Northumberland's highways teams have to deal with around 40,000 potholes every year on the 3,500 miles-plus of roads in the county.
The three-month "invest to save" project will be trialled in North Northumberland and Tynedale. Affected areas will be cut out and patched, rather than the current method of filling and repairing the pothole itself.
