SHROPSHIRE Council has revealed which parts of north Shropshire will see pothole repairs in April.

The authority’s new Multihog road planer machines will be tackling potholes and other defects on roads across the country throughout the month.

And locally work has already begun.

Work started last Tuesday, March 29 on the B5476 between Wem and Tilstock, with an expected finished date of Friday (April 8).

Meanwhile, on Monday, April 11, work will be carried out on Sharps Drive, Whitchurch and potholes will be fixed in Caldecott Crescent on April 12 and 13.

And between April 26 and May 4, work will take place near Ellesmere on the road between Plas Warren and Cross Lanes.

Dean Carroll, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member with responsibility for highways, said: "The Multihog is a hugely important part of our work to tackle potholes and improve the county’s roads.

"Since we started using it last year use of the Multihog has shown a dramatic improvement in permanent road repairs, and it now forms an important part of our strategy to deliver meaningful repairs to roads across Shropshire."

Since April 2021, more than 25,000 potholes have been repaired across Shropshire.
