The JCB Pothole Pro has returned to the district on another mission to help patch up the area’s potholes and prepare roads for surface treatments. The machine combines cutting and cleaning functions, enabling quicker and more cost-effective pothole repairs.  It’s primarily used to fix potholes before the roads undergo a preventative surface treatment. This month, it completed work in Leek, at Ilam Moor Lane - from Brunnister Lane to Blore Road - and Dove Dale’s Thorpe Road.
