Residents and councillors blast 'worst roads in Lancashire' littered with potholes
Councillors and residents in West Lancashire have blasted the state of the areas roads - describing some of them as the worst in the whole county.
Since November 2022, 6,156 reports of damages in the roads were reported to Lancashire County Council. The Freedom of Information Request from Our West Lancashire found Lancaster had the second highest reports for January with 494 sent into the county council. Wyre wasn't far off with 461 reports and Preston also had 403 reported defects in January.
“That’s why Our West Lancashire have consistently promoted a 4-point action plan. Firstly, we need changes to the funding system, so that more money is spent in the parts of Lancashire where the roads are in worst condition. This would mean that West Lancashire would benefit.” Finally, the council Independents would abandon the current system which sees potholes repaired in a strict list/priority order and fix all the potholes in a neighbourhood at the same time, reducing travel time and costs.
