The storms which hit the region late last year have left Dumfries and Galloway Council with a roads repair bill of nearly £500,000.
The worst floods in 40 years hammered Dumfries and Galloway on December 7-8, with businesses and homes being hit with rising water levels causing tens of thousands of pounds worth of damage.
Council chiefs have confirmed that the extreme flooding followed by cold weather has “accelerated” the deterioration of roads surfaces this winter.
