Roadmasters 

Our two Roadmasters vehicles tackle potholes on rural roads during spring and summer. In October they'll be operating in south Shropshire zones 11 to 15.

Find and fix

Our six ‘find and fix’ gangs will be operating across the county. They identify, or respond to, defects on the county’s 'U' and 'C' roads, and go out and fix them permanently. The gangs generally tackle potholes that are considered dangerous.  

Resurfacing and surface dressing

Resurfacing 

The following roads are set to be resurfaced in October as part of this year’s resurfacing programme. For more information about resurfacing see our 'Resurfacing and surface dressing' page.

Surface dressing 

We're delighted to report that our 2022/23 surface dressing programme is now complete. For more information about surface dressing, see our 'Resurfacing and surface dressing' page.

Thermal patching

Thermal patching is a new treatment that is helping us and our highways partners to carry out more effective, longer-lasting repairs to the county’s roads. 

The process includes heating the road surface surrounding the defect to 200 celsius. The surface is then raked, topped up with bitumen binder and pre-heated material, then compacted.
