Extra work to fix potholes across Hampshire
'Pothole busting' teams are being brought in to deal with potholes across Hampshire.
Hampshire County Council is sending out 50 teams of workers to repair our damaged roads.
The council has also hired a 'jetpatcher' - a high-speed patching machine which can fix up to 2,000 potholes in a week.
Council leader Ken Thornber said: 'The impact of this exceptionally severe winter with very cold temperatures, snow and ice, and then melting snow and rain has been undeniably damaging to our roads.
'We will need to look at our plans and budget in light of this but our immediate priority is to make the roads safe and useable and this is why we have brought in extra resources to fix the worst of the problems as quickly as possible.'
