Response
A1. See attached spreadsheet, for defect repairs under Annex 10 including the spray injection pothole repairs, for FY 21/22
A2. So far, we have only trialed a JCB PotholePro in the last year to begin to assess potential effectiveness and efficiency savings for highways maintenance as we are keen to make use of innovative technology on the market
A3. As we have not used a Pothole Pro vehicles for our maintenance programme we cannot provide savings figures, although we believe the technology is efficient likely to support improvements in highways maintenance and H&S working practices also.
