Wirral Council has been criticised for the “shocking” state of the borough's roads, with people complaining that potholes are getting worse.
People from Bebington, Woodchurch, and Eastham told the ECHO they had suffered punctured tyres or problems with their cars as a result of the state of the roads. One delivery driver said he was able to claim £1,000 from the council after two tyres blew out on a pothole.
Data from a recent Wirral Council environment committee report highlights increases in poor conditions on every type of road in the borough including main A roads. On small roads nearly 14% are in poor condition while on B and C roads the number jumped by 6% between 2020 and 2021.
