Reform UK councils have repaired nearly 115,000 potholes following the May elections, the party has celebrated.
This impressive tally equates to approximately 630 repairs daily across their authorities, alongside their crackdown on wasteful local spending.
To that end, Reform figures say the party has achieved more than £330million in cost reductions throughout its councils.
These savings form part of initiatives led by the party's Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) unit, established to mirror Donald Trump's Doge unit in America.
Reform’s Deputy Leader and Doge Chief, Richard Tice, celebrated the success.
"Since May, Reform UK councillors have been getting on with the job of cleaning up the mess of past Tory administrations," he told GB News.
"This is only the start of our plans at local government level.
"Reform will fix broken Britain," Mr Tice assured The People’s Channel.

The Telegraph's findings on Reform's pothole claims come after it was revealed the party had made £330million in savings spread across authorities where Nigel Farage's party swept to power earlier this year.
Kent achieved £32million in savings after reversing its climate emergency declaration.
An additional £7.5million is projected to be saved by 2030 through abandoning plans to convert its vehicle fleet to electric.
Durham secured £23 million through similar climate policy reversals.

Leicestershire redirected £2million from net zero commitments towards flood defence measures, whilst allocating £30million for educational infrastructure to accommodate 850 additional secondary pupils.
Staffordshire prevented the sale of 63 agricultural properties and halted the conversion of productive farmland for environmental schemes.
The recent successes follow a promise made by Reform leader Nigel Farage that his party would get to grips with Britain's poor roads ahead of the local elections earlier this year.
In a humorous social media video, he "declared war" on potholes while putting a gold ball into one while appearing in Malmesbury, north Wiltshire.

Mr Farage noted that one of the biggest issues for motorists is roads strewn with potholes, as the politician noted that it was getting worse "all across the country".
The video was accompanied by the caption: "There are 827,000 potholes across the councils up for election on Thursday."
Last year, the Asphalt Industry Alliance laid out the truly parlous state that Britain's roads were in.
Just 36 per cent barely scraped an adequate rating, while a shocking 17 per cent were rated poor.
