I RECENTLY read on the Star website that the number of pot holes in the town are the highest they have been in six years.

After driving around on the town’s roads it’s no surprise - but it’s not just the amount that’s the issue, it’s the severity of them.

I regularly head up and down Rivington Road and they are down to the cobbles. 

You do wonder what impact it is having on some cars. By all accounts, this a national issue with many towns and cities the same. Roads are basic infrastructure - we pay our taxes and expect them to be right.

Another one in the in-tray of the next government.
