Edinburghs Pothole Crisis: A Call for Modern Repair Tech
Edinburghs drivers and cyclists are grappling with worsening potholes that cause damage and pose safety risks.

Local leaders argue against expensive cycle lanes, advocating for better overall maintenance instead.

Last week, the Scottish Conservatives proposed a £90 million National Pothole Action Fund to equip councils with modern repair technology, aiming to end the citys pothole crisis.
