The recent spell of severe weather has left a legacy of a multitude of pot holes on roads across the borough. This is going to drain hundreds of thousands of pounds from an already stretched Highways Maintenance budget.
“The fear is that much needed resurfacing work on roads already in poor condition before this winter’s frost and snow could find themselves being pushed even further back in the maintenance programme as a result” said Liberal Democrat councillor Ian Shires.
As a result Ian has written to Highways bosses asking what action is being taken to ensure that those roads already in the maintenance programme will still be resurfaced at the time specified.
It is difficult to single out one specific road in Willenhall but Spring Lane surely has to be one of the worst if not the worst roads in the Borough. Even then the council is saying that it won’t get resurfaced till next year. “To see it put back even further because of Tory cutbacks and severe weather, would be a disaster” said Ian.
