Cabinet members were also told that the use of cold lay material would help the authority to meet its pothole-repair targets
Lancashire County Council has recommitted to a process designed to make pothole-filling easier and more effective during winter weather.
A procurement document approved by County Hall’s cabinet last month stated that the material “will ensure that permanent, first-time repairs are delivered with no requirement for return or remedial works” A spokesperson for Lancashire County Council said that keeping the roads and pavements safe and in good repair was one of its biggest responsibilities.
“Cold lay surfacing is a vital material for making repairs during the winter, as it’s still effective in cold and wet conditions and can be used to repair flooded potholes, or even when temperatures are below freezing. At other times of the year, we use warm-mix asphalt for most repairs, but this can’t be used during the worst weather.
