The council plans to deal with more potholes by tackling smaller varieties
More potholes are set to be repaired over the next six months, with the council planning to reduce the criteria for fixing road defects.
A six-month trial is set to be launched, reducing the threshold for pothole repairs from 50mm to 40mm deep.
Currently, Reading Borough Council (RBC) repairs all potholes with a depth of 50mm or more and which cover an area of at least 300mm x 300mm.
The council now wants to trial reducing this to 40mm or more, while covering the same minimum area of 300m x 300m.
