Blackpool's innovative Project Amber, using advanced imagery to detect and repair potholes, will be replicated across England. Transport Secretary Louise Haigh praised Blackpool as a model for tackling the 'pothole plague' and pledged government support.
Blackpool 's groundbreaking scheme to find and fix potholes is set to be rolled out across England in a bid to save councils and drivers money. Transport Secretary Louise Haigh pledged the government will tackle the "pothole plague" - and pointed to Blackpool as an example of how to do it.
She said: “I’m here in Blackpool looking at their innovative technology for road surfacing and preventing and fixing potholes. I know from travelling all over the country how important fixing potholes is to people. That in lots of places it is the number one priority, so as Transport secretary I am keen that we get on top of that as soon as possible.
“Blackpool Council are already doing fantastic work to make the most of new technology to repair potholes faster. This should be a model for every community to learn from and help deliver the roads their drivers deserve, so that Britain can get moving." “Our highways team work extremely hard to keep the roads functioning for residents and visitors to the town. We continually strive to use new methods that are quicker and less disruptive, alongside materials that are longer-lasting and better for the environment.
