The council has hired two specialist contractors who use a ‘jet patching’ process to repair potholes.
The treatment has already been tried out on a number of routes in the Kirkintilloch area. David Devine, the council’s head of roads, said: “Harsh winters can really leave their mark on our roads and this process is a highly effective way of repairing potholes on rural roads.

A number of roads in the Torrance area will be next to undergo the treatment.
