Harrow's New Pothole Squad Promises Quick and Sustainable Fixes

Harrow Council has launched a new initiative, creating a 'pothole squad' backed by £241,000 in funding. This effort, part of a significant road maintenance program across England, is aimed at efficiently addressing the widespread issue of potholes in the borough.

The initiative includes the use of a cutting-edge Pothole Pro JCB machine, capable of fixing a pothole in just eight minutes. This machine, valued at £165,000, is designed to offer permanent repairs by recycling existing surface material, thereby minimizing waste and reducing net emissions.
