Motorists have welcomed news a long stretch of potholed Princess Parkway in Manchester will be resurfaced in the new year, as council bosses outlined details of the major project.
One driver who regularly uses the route through Moss Side towards Hulme and the city centre said: "It's one of the main routes into the city and so really, it should appear more like the great boulevard it should be, rather than the assault course it currently is."
The Manchester Evening News told last month of the road's 'canyon-like' potholes - huge grooves of trench-like craters blighting one of Manchester's busiest arterial routes as the Parkway becomes Princess Road into the city. Town hall chiefs, however, insisted the sections of road were 'structurally safe' despite the 'visual deterioration' of the route's surface.
