Cheshire East Council said the authority was completing extra works in February and March to help tackle potholes, before main road surfacing programmes began later in the year.
"Our aim is to carry out permanent repairs on road defects, but sometimes that's not possible due to factors such as the weather conditions," a spokesperson said.

"Some of the repairs we make are temporary to make sure that the road is safe.

"These repairs may not be visually pleasing but they are reasonably durable and, most importantly, keep the network safe."
