North Lincolnshire Council will be carrying out a programme of what it describes as more permanent repairs on larger stretches of road after it was called out to fix around 3,000 potholes in five weeks.
From today (Monday 16 April), highways teams will be concentrating on permanent repairs on the following roads:
Bottesford (various streets)
Barton
Barrow
Goxhill
North and South Killingholme
The council has said dedicated reactive teams will still be deployed to emergency pothole repairs.
North Lincolnshire Council repaired more 2,856 potholes in the last five weeks.
Councillor Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “I want to thank residents for reporting potholes and would encourage people to continue reporting them as it helps identify where they are and enables us to prioritise a programme of work for the week ahead.
“We have repaired almost 3,000 potholes now and are now concentrating on carrying out more permanent repairs.
“We will still be responding to urgent repairs and I would encourage people to continue to report potholes they come across, as this is really helpful to us.
“I think the vast majority of people understand that we are doing everything we can and I’d like to thank them for bearing with us while we carry out the repairs.”

Several residents have continued to vigilantly monitor the River Witham’s water levels, prepared with sandbags outside their homes as a precaution after Storm Babet damaged two sections of the riverbank. But, despite the looming threat, there is a prevailing sense of confidence among the community, suggesting that further flooding is unlikely.
News that a £165,000 improvement project on the Handley Monument in Sleaford will commence early next year has been supported by local residents, who feel it is a much needed addition to the town centre, but it hasn’t come without its fair share of criticism.
North Kesteven District Council unveiled its plans for the historic Handley Monument in Sleaford, with a view to improving the surrounding area and also lighting up the monument to attract more attention to its role in the town’s history.
