A local councillor says it is a "shocking revelation" that potholes on rural roads won't be filled by Transport NI unless they're more than four inches deep.
It follows a recent visit by a Transport NI engineer to Dromintee and Jonesborough.
Councillor Mickey Larkin says despite lobbying and engagement, "continuous and damaging budget cuts to vital services was having a real impact on the local community."
He added cost is always sited as the reason for not carrying out work, but roads maintenance needs to be a priority:
Man in 90s dies following Co Down road crash
Police to increase patrols after second incident of shots being fired in Belfast
Woman charged over theft of campaigner’s car ‘must stay out of Belfast’
Bluetongue restrictions in Northern Ireland will be relaxed from Friday
