Road workers are fixing 200 potholes a day in Glasgow as complaints rocket, with 4500 reports received about them in January.
official has said staff are working hard to deal with the problems after Glasgow was hit with the coldest road surface temperatures since 2012 during December.
Council officer Martin Lundie said that between January 1 and 20, the roads maintenance team received 4,500 pothole repair reports, which he described as a “significant increase” compared to usual.Mr Lundie said between December 2 to 17, the city experienced some of the “coldest road surface temperatures since 2012” with 8,500 tonnes of rock salt spread since then.
He said: “The culmination of extreme temperatures with significant rainfall had a detrimental impact on the condition of the road surfaces. The ingress of water into road surfaces and the expansion of water when it freezes manifested in potholes forming quickly.” Mr Lundie added: “We are working hard to try and address this issue within the city at the moment. It has been exacerbated because of the weather.”He told the meeting 32 potholes out of a reported 316 have been repaired in the Baillieston ward.
