Shropshire Council has confirmed it will be repairing potholes on various roads in the north of the county next month.
The authority's Multihog road planer machines will be tackling more potholes in and around the Oswestry area.
An additional, third Multihog team will also be hitting the roads to improve surfaces.
A spokesperson for Shropshire Council said: “The Multevo Multihog planes off the road surface to enable a squared-off hole to be filled by a following gang.
“It’s quicker than having to saw-cut and break-out the defective road by hand – tackling potholes and other defects more quickly and effectively.

“Each Multihog can treat 9,000m² of road each month, reduces the likelihood of potholes forming in the short-to-medium term, and cuts down on the need for road closures.”
In September, the three Multihogs will be treating roads on weekdays only, between 9.30am and 4pm, except where stated.
Shropshire Council have confirmed that on Monday September 7 works will begin from Chain Lane junction to the start of Trefonen Road, Oswestry from 9.30am to 2.45pm.
