“We are ensuring maximum benefit and value for money by taking a staged approach to spending the investment.
“ The posts currently advertised are the start of the journey, and there are many more innovations on the way to help us improve our region’s road network.”
At February’s full council meeting an additional £30 million of funding over the next five years was agreed for the roads department to target the blight of potholes on the region’s roads.
The funding will help with the recruitment of 25 workers with the council also weighing up buying a JCB Pothole Pro which can fix a defect in minutes.
