NINE pages of roads in need of repair have been prepared by council officers ahead of the cabinet meeting on Monday.
These lists show the top ten roads most in need of repair in each ward and show an estimated cost for the work.
It is from these lists that area forums and ward councillors will be able to pick where to spend their newly allocated £50,000.
These lists show the true extent of the problem with the borough's roads, which have been battered by harsh winters, rains and traffic.
The total money needed to fix the worst ten roads in each ward would be £15,729,499.90 — far exceeding the council's budget.
Almost £2.5 million of repairs are already agreed for some of these problem roads with the £50,000 per ward allocated on top of that (£1 million).
The ward with the biggest problem is Kearsley which could do with £1.6 million spending on its problem roads.
