Additional funding worth £3.617 million and more resources is being ploughed into Cambridgeshre's roads to help tackle repairs and potholes.
There has been a significant increase in potholes since the winter, with 10,000 potholes recorded as requiring repair despite 2,700 being fixed last week.
In comparison to this time last year, there were 5,000 potholes recorded and 1,200 being fixed a week.
Cllr Alex Beckett, chair of the highways and transport committee at CCC, said: "I am very conscious of people's frustrations with the potholes around our county, and we're doing everything we can to get on top of this.
"This is why we're investing more money and finding more resources to tackle this issue as quickly as possible.
"We're seeing double the number of potholes compared to the previous winter, and we're fixing double each week - usually we repair between 1,000-1,200 a week, last week we hit 2,700 repairs - so we're already seeing the positive impact extra crews on the ground and dragon patchers are having."

Additional funding from the Department for Transport has provided Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) with an extra £3.617 million to the £2.2 million CC already have to specifically tackle potholes.
The extra funding will allow for a new proactive approach to manage CCC's response to the increasing number of potholes on the county's roads.
The money will be spent on an additional programme of work where the council will 'find, record and fix' minor surface issues before they develop into potholes.
This will be done using new technology, which provides an improved way of surveying the condition of roads and will help direct where this work will be delivered.
The extra money will also allow more crews to be on the ground.

Normally, four crews and two dragon patchers are available across the county; now, eight crews and five dragon patchers are working hard to repair potholes.

Cllr Neil Shailer, vice-chair of the highways and transport Committee at CCC, added: "Not only are we putting more resources on the ground, we'll also be increasing our monitoring of the quality of the work that is delivered to help improve the service we offer to Cambridgeshire.
"This means we'll be looking at the quality of the work ordered and delivered.
"My thanks go out to the public for reporting faults, and my last plea is for people to continue reporting any potholes or highway faults using our online tool.
"It's easy to use and flags any faults which have not yet been marked.
"We would rather have multiple reports of the same fault than none at all."
