COUNTY hall bosses are proposing to change the way it fixes potholes.

Lancashire County Council's cabinet is being asked to agree a revised pothole repair policy which will give priority to roads which are most used at a meeting today.

Work will also be recorded in a new format to ensure performance can be monitored and show how well this revised policy is working.

The policy introduces a new target to fix potholes or other defects which are 15cm or greater in depth, and 30cm wide, within one working day - with 5 day, 10 day and 20 day targets for less serious problems.

The council currently monitors its performance according to a target to repair potholes 4cm or more in depth within 20 working days.

County Cllr Keith Iddon said: "This more rigorous regime means we'll be able to better monitor our performance, hold ourselves to account, and ensure we're directing resources where they're most needed."
