Bolton's worst roads for potholes
"Have potholes damaged your car? Tell us your pothole woes and which roads you think need fixing. "
We asked for your responses - this is what you sent.
What is your response?Plodder Lane, just past where the old Plodder Lane used to be - outside the off-licence is one the left.
What is your response?Grosvenors Street, Kearsley. The road down the side of the Black Horse, Market Street, Farnworth, all the way to the bottom of Grosvenor Street. Many more pot holes, also many just after or just before speed bumps. Reported plenty of times and one whole got filled in still has the spray paint on the floor.
Your pictures
What is your response?Blenheim Road, Breightmet, is awful. Speed bumps make the road bumpy enough but add all the pot holes and ditches and it's like doing off-roading!
What is your response?Clarke Street Heaton, from top to bottom is covered in potholes. There are more cobbles on show than there is Tarmac. It hasn't been done in the last 9 years I've lived here.
Your pictures
What is your response?Greenmount Lane. The amount they pay in council tax, the residents must be annoyed. One long pothole.
But are potholes still an issue where you drive? Has your car been damaged recently on an uneven road?
Tell us where you think the money should be spent and send us pictures of your potholed road.
