Council says potholes are a top priority
Leek Post and Times
|July 16, 2025
HIGHWAYS crews in Staffordshire filled more potholes last year than each of the previous four years.
-
New figures reveal that more than 37,000 potholes were filled in 2024/25, after the county came out of the wettest winter for more than 100 years.
The progress has been made by utilising more crews, and new equipment such as the JCB Pothole Pro to speed up defect repairs.
Added to this, new AI technology has meant the county council has been able to assess the condition of its 4,000 mile highway network, to create a complete picture of highways across the county.
