British digger maker JCB has brought its brand new revolutionary pothole fixing machine to Cumbria in one of its first-ever demonstrations. The company launched the PotholePro earlier this year - it can repair a pothole in less than eight minutes, four times quicker than standard methods and at half the cost of current solutions. In Cumbria the machine was used over three-days on the A66, where it fixed almost 60 potholes. Councillor Keith Little, Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, attended the trial. He said: “Here in Cumbria, we have one of the biggest road networks in the UK to maintain and as well as a population of half a million people, we welcome up to 19 million visitors a year to the county. It’s therefore essential that we keep our road network safe and the JCB PotholePro has demonstrated its ability to repair a pothole quickly and permanently, which makes it a great tool to have in your armour when maintaining the roads.
