JCB Pothole Pro Trial in Leicestershire | Leicester News

Despite earlier criticism that it’s too big, inefficient for small holes, and slower than other vehicles, Reform UK is backing the trial after seeing success in Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, where the machine clears backlogs faster, reduces road closures, and saves money long-term. Council leader Dan Harrison admits the machine looks impressive but insists they need proof of efficiency before investing, especially with a wet winter looming and roads needing urgent attention.
