A combination of heavy rain and cold weather at various points in the past few weeks has meant more potholes are popping up across Swansea, making some of our daily commutes a slalom course as we try to avoid them.
There have been reports of some potholes that are two and a half inches deep and as long as six foot and on New Year's Day Swansea residents were affected by road closures due to a damaged road in Ynystawe. Some roads in Swansea have been compared to "farm tracks" and described as "awful" by angry drivers taking to social media.
One Swansea resident described the roads in their local area of Cwmrhydyceirw as "disgusting" and another exasperated local wrote that "the roads everywhere are horrendous". Another Swansea driver complained that "some roads in Swansea are absolutely ridiculous," adding that driving to avoid the potholes was dangerous in itself.
