Devon County Council is launching a trial to improve pothole repairs in parts of the county.
The scheme will run from September 15 to the end of October in areas including Barnstaple, Hatherleigh, Chagford, and North Tawton.
The trial involves safety inspectors recording and repairing all potholes within 500 meters of a reported pothole they are attending.
Councillor Dan Thomas, cabinet member for highways, stated that while not every pothole will be fixed, the trial will help the council understand the budget required for a more proactive approach and determine if it leads to a reduction in pothole reports from the public.
