Frustrated residents living near a road littered with potholes say the stretch 'falls apart every winter.' For residents and passers-by, a quick look over Bye Pass Road, Chilwell, shows a row of potholes one after the other - something one person labelled "appalling" and another "dangerous."
One person living nearby stated the road is not particularly busy and is surprised at the state of the road. Nottinghamshire County Council has stated the recent bad weather has 'ripped chunks' out of Nottinghamshire’s roads and that it is 'firefighting' to bring them back up to scratch.
The Conservative-led authority says reports “almost doubled” between December 7 and January 7, though no specific figures were revealed. It follows freezing temperatures in December and recent heavy rainfall causing damage to the surface of the county’s highways.
