Seven thousand potholes were reported to Glasgow City Council in the first two months of 2023 alone. Now, the council is increasing its budget for road repairs to £12 million.
The extra £6m funding - reallocated on a temporary basis from the Neighbourhood Infrastructure Improvement Fund - will be used towards helping road surfaces recover from the most damaging winter in over a decade.
Glasgow experienced its lowest temperatures in 12 years last December, followed by an extended period of heavy persistent rain which, combined with traffic, led to thousands of potholes forming across the city.
