Villages in line for repairs include Belton, Epworth, Haxey, Owston Ferry, Wroot, Amcotts, Crowle, Garthorpe and Fockerby, Eastoft, Luddington and Haldenby, and Keadby and Althorpe.

“Major resurfacing works” are also due to take place in Epworth, including in High Street and Carrside, in February and March.

In January this year, the council was one of 13 authorities to receive a “red” rating from the government based on the condition of their roads and how effectively they are spending government cash on repairs.

According to the council, while potholes appear most frequently in winter, repairs can be difficult in cold, wet conditions, due to a combination of materials failing to bond, freeze-thaw cycles and heavy traffic.
