In recent weeks the majority of
general concerns raised with me, unsurprisingly given the wet weather, relate
to potholes and ponding at blocked kerbside gullies in various locations.
Potholes cause problems for all
road users - motorists, cyclists and pedestrians and there really needs to be
better investment to ensure lasting repairs can be made, rather than seeing the
same potholes being filled every few weeks. I’m hopeful that some of the roads
and pavements I have highlighted to the roads maintenance partnership recently
as needing attention will receive more permanent repairs during the next
financial year.
This example in Traill Street is
typical, large potholes and loose material that needs to be swept up. I have
reported this location to the roads maintenance partnership.
