A lot of residents have complained to me about the condition of the carriageway on East Balgillo Road and particularly the potholes at and near to the junction with Balgillo Road. I took the matter up with the Roads Maintenance Partnership and I have now been informed that structural patching is to be carried out at the junction and is provisionally programmed for mid November. Unfortunately the remainder of the East Balgillo Road carriageway is not included in the 2012/13 carriageway programme but I have been advised that it will continue to be inspected on a regular basis and any actionable defects noted will be repaired to ensure safety is maintained.
