Richard Marshall, Shropshire Council’s cabinet member for highways, said: “The Multihogs are a hugely important part of our work improve the county’s roads and make them safer for all road users.
“Since April 2021 we’ve repaired over 40,000 potholes across Shropshire and the Multihog has played a crucial role in this .
“Using the Multihog we can treat 9,000m² of road each month, reduce the likelihood of potholes forming in the short-to-medium term, and cut down on the need for road closures.”
