Herefordshire Council was approached for comment.
The RAC head of roads policy Nicholas Lyes said: “It may well be the case that more money being spent on the roads will be getting eaten up by inflationary pressures.
"All of this adds to the argument that councils should invest more in innovative machinery that can fix potholes as quickly and permanently as possible.”
