Cardiff Council is currently trialling a new system in repairing pot holes across the city.
The new method offers a more permanent solution to the repairing of potholes.
The process involves cutting out all areas of damage around a pothole, filling with tarmacadam and sealing the joints.
Work has already been completed in Radyr, and will now be rolled out to other parts of the city with the scheme now underway in Fairwater and plans to start in Canton in the next few weeks.
The scheme will concentrate on potholes and minor patches and will involve the excavation of defective material, squaring of the hole, installation with new material and sealing.
Executive Member for Transport and Transportation, Cllr Delme Bowen, said: “The recent cold snap has caused problems for roads across Wales and here in Cardiff we are looking at new ways to repair the damage. This new method is our preferred choice of dealing with potholes but it more expensive so the trial will include an evaluation on the longer term financial implications. I am optimistic that we will be able to role out the initiative to more wards across the capital.”
