Faced with increasing pressure to do more with less, all kinds of organisations are looking at ways to work smarter and local government is no exception.
More than 130,000 potholes fixed and prevented across Wales
In the last six months, more than 131,000 potholes across 266 miles of road in Wales have been fixed or prevented.
The local government borrowing initiative has enabled local councils to fix or prevent around 107,000 potholes across 216 miles of local roads in Wales.
Meanwhile, around 24,000 potholes have been fixed or prevented on more than 50 miles of road on the Strategic Road Network (SRN) thanks to Welsh Government funding.
To date 480 local resurfacing schemes and 20 trunk road resurfacing schemes have been completed across the country since April.
Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales Ken Skates said: "Fixing our roads is a priority for this government.
"We are only six months into this programme, but I am delighted with the fantastic progress that’s been made so far, and there’s a lot more to come.
"We are now seeing the results of the additional £25m investment in our main roads, and the support for our local authorities to fix local roads.
"This work is already making a real difference to communities across Wales, addressing long-standing issues now, to make our roads more resilient for the future."
