An extra £360,000 has been poured into repairing potholes in Dundee over the past two weeks.

More than twice the usual number of crews have been working to fix the city's roads damaged by the recent snow.

The city council say Dundee is the only area using hot tar ensuring a longer lasting fix.

There's been a 66% drop in the number of potholes since 2013 due to milder winters and increased investment.

Depute convener, of Dundee City Council's city development committee, Mark Flynn said: "I'm sure that almost everyone knows that potholes are an unpleasant, unwelcome but not unexpected consequence of bad weather.

"Anticipating this we were ready to put on three more squads and more than double the budget for repairs to keep Dundee moving and to try to maintain our position as the second best local authority roads network in Scotland.

"Dundee is the only council area in the country which uses hot tar to repair potholes as it creates a more durable fix and means we don't have to keep coming back to the same ones time and again when the temporary repair settles."
