As part of his budget statement the Chancellor yesterday announced an extra £100m for local councils to repair pothole damage as a result of this winter’s severe weather.
Manchester City Council is working to repair potholes caused by the worst winter for over 30 years.
A total of 7,500 potholes have already been repaired by teams working flat out across the City.
Northenden Councillor and Environment supremo Richard Cowell said:
“We are working really hard to complete these repairs and have set aside around £650,000 to do this. We appreciate that the potholes have caused some difficulties to workers, residents and shoppers across Manchester and we are progressing with repairs as quickly as we can.
"Government have recognised that we faced exceptional problems this year and this money will be put to good use to repair the remaining potholes."
If anyone has any concerns about particular potholes, they can contact Manchester City Council's Environment on Call centre on 0161 954 9000.
