Staffordshire's JCB Pothole Pro is coming to Newcastle this month, on a mission to help patch up the town's potholes and prepare roads for surface treatments.

From 23 October, the machine will begin repairing potholes between the A34 London Road and Belgrave Road.

The Pothole Pro will also carry out works between the A34 London Road and Victoria Road on 28 October. This is to prepare the road to undergo surface dressing - a process that prolongs the life of roads by up to 15 years.

The machine is designed to repair potholes in around eight minutes and Staffordshire County Council will be carrying out more than 450 preventative maintenance schemes in 2024/25.

Councillor Keith Flunder said: "I want to take the time to thank you for your patience whilst these important works take place.

"We are delivering a huge repair programme that will see us double down on fixing more roads across Staffordshire over the next year.

"We understand that road works can cause inconvenience but they are necessary to maintain and improve our highways network. Please be assured that our crews will continue to do their best to reduce disruption as much as possible."
