Renfrewshire Council has tested a new approach to tackling potholes on roads in Paisley, Johnstone and a number of other areas during the summer.

The local authority worked with a company called Velocity to pilot a technique known as jet patching throughout the course of last month.

The method, which is also referred to as spray injection patching, repairs potholes and damaged road surfaces using a specialised machine.

An update was provided on the trial in a report to the infrastructure, land and environment policy board on Wednesday.
