Nottinghamshire's roads are said to have been 'devastated' by recent extreme weather events
Nottinghamshire's transport chief has pledged that people will begin to see improvements on the county's roads that they can notice "out of their front window" after extreme weather caused significant damage. Weather events including Storm Henk are said to have "devastated" Nottinghamshire's roads but with the conditions beginning to get drier, work to repair the highway will ramp up in the coming months.
Councillor Neil Clarke, the cabinet member for transport and environment at Nottinghamshire County Council, said: "The unprecedented record levels of heavy rainfall absolutely devastated the roads. Now, thankfully, the weather seems to be improving.
There are then roads that are inspected on a quarterly basis and those that are routinely inspected every year. Alongside the routine inspections, the team responsible will go out to an area if reports have come in about road damage from members of the public. The large-scale patchwork is an option that has only been available to the highways team for around two years. One of the repair options available is a pothole repairing machine known as Roadmaster, purchased by the county council in 2019.
