A councillor for a south Shropshire town says his patch might have some of the worst roads in the whole county.
But now a councillor in the south of the county has claimed that a part of his patch could qualify for the rather dubious title of having the worst roads in Shropshire, as he pleads with the county council to take action.
He says key sections of the network need attention, including a large stretch of the High Street - especially around the junction with Bridge Street, Bridge Street, Kington Road, the pavements on the Knighton Road.In addition, he says, some of the gullies in town are blocked and there is a large accumulation of rubbish under a bridge.
“Both the town council and myself will be pressing Shropshire to make good on these promises. We have now some of the worst roads in Shropshire and have suffered enough.” "We have seen much greater levels of investment, which has seen more kilometres of road resurfaced and repaired than in previous years.
The council really has its work cut out at this time of year, as reports on the Fix My Street app show.One in Bishop's Castle alerts the council to a"deep rectangular pothole in carriageway causing problems for small vehicles" in High Street. Other members of the public have also reported"numerous large and extensive carriageway defects/potholes on the Sutton Maddock roundabout by the Shell garage.
