Lancashire County Council is criticised for using a less stable method of 'blobbing' potholes with tar.
A council has been criticised for reverting to a "cheap and nasty" practice of "blobbing" potholes with tar, rather than carrying out more substantial repairs.
Liberal Democrat opposition group leader John Potter said that approach risks water finding its way in around the edges of the hole and undoing the repair job.Lancashire County Council said its techniques vary and that all of its' repairs are good quality and long lasting. “So when cabinet members say, ‘We’ve repaired X amount of potholes,’ that could be the same pothole three times, because they’ve done it in a cheap and nasty way."
