Anxious residents living on a road with 'disgusting' potholes have called for the road to be resurfaced 'like they do in Sweden'. Greendale Road, Arnold, is currently "littered" with potholes, with some neighbours partly blaming years of wear and tear from delivery and carrier lorries that often drive up and down the road.
Local residents say that potholes are often fixed, but can "cave in" after being driven over. Neighbours are now calling for the road to be resurfaced, and one neighbour had her own idea on how to do that.
Back in early 2020, in Sweden, researchers trialled rubber surfaces made out of recycled car tyres for footways and cycle paths. It was said then that the shock-absorbing properties of the material could prevent serious injuries.
