Pothole repair methods trialled on Oxfordshire road

Different methods of repairing potholes are being trialled on a road in Oxfordshire.

A 1km stretch (0.6 miles) of Hanney Road in Steventon was chosen for the trial - thought to be the first of its kind - due to the number of road defects needed to be repaired.

Methods include using a machine called a Dragon Patcher and applying mastic asphalt. The results will be monitored over the coming years.

Almost 32,000 potholes were repaired by Oxfordshire County Council's contractor Milestone Infrastructure last year.
