Minister shown money-saving British pothole fixer

Transport Minister Mark Harper was given a live demonstration of a machine which is helping fix Britain’s roads and end the scourge of potholes. The Minister was shown the JCB Pothole Pro during a visit to the company’s Derbyshire engine plant and saw for himself how the machine repairs a pothole in less than eight minutes – four times quicker than standard methods. The demonstration came just days after the company announced it had won its biggest order yet for 50 Pothole Pros from one of the country’s largest hirers, Dawsongroup, for deployment with councils up and down the country.
