Milton Keynes drivers can look forward to smoother journeys, as the city council rolls out a £100,000 investment in the cutting-edge ‘Roadmender Elastomac’ technology to repair potholes faster, cheaper, and more effectively.
This new machinery, deployed this week, is set to repair damaged road surfaces across Milton Keynes with enhanced durability. By using a unique bonding material, the Roadmender machine repairs potholes without extensive digging, minimizing road disruptions. The technology is also highly sustainable—utilizing recycled materials, reducing waste, and lowering carbon emissions.
Trials of the Roadmender in Milton Keynes and other cities have demonstrated its effectiveness, significantly cutting repair costs and enabling more potholes to be filled as budgets tighten.
The machine has already been put to work on the Oakhill H5 Portway roundabout, alongside other major roadworks.
“Labour committed to investing in new technology to fix more potholes, and this investment means we can repair them faster, more cost-effectively, and sustainably,” said Cllr Peter Marland, Leader of Milton Keynes City Council.
Cllr Jennifer Wilson-Marklew, Cabinet Member for Public Realm, added, “With this advanced technology, we’re not only fixing our roads but doing so in a way that lasts longer and reduces carbon emissions.”
