North Lanarkshire Council has settled a £31 million court battle after being forced to make a massive payout to a pothole repair company.

Local authority chiefs are refusing to say how much they paid to construction firm Amey after it took legal action over a botched contract.

The settlement could run up to tens of millions at a time when the council is facing a challenging budget deficit of £13.4 million this year.

Councillors have demanded the local authority reveal how much public cash has been lost as a result of the scandal.
