A council has been slammed over the state of roads that are riddled with potholes. They are so bad that the local authority has been paying out compensation for damaged caused to cars.
Drivers say they have suffered punctured tyres or problems with their vehicles as a result of the state of the roads. One delivery driver said he was able to claim £1,000 from the council after a pothole burst two of his tyres.
Data from a recent environment committee report highlights increases in poor conditions on every type of road in a Liverpool borough, including main A roads. On small roads nearly 14 per cent are in poor condition while on B and C roads the number jumped by six per cent between 2020 and 2021, the Liverpool Echo reports.
