The most complained about roads in Greater Manchester for potholes and damaged surfaces have been named in a new study which reveals a surge in reports made to councils from angry motorists.
The Federation of Small Businesses - (FSB) - claimed its research comprising the last financial year using requests to councils under the Freedom of Information Act also revealed that a number of councils failed to spend their full allocated budget for road repairs, despite rising numbers of complaints about the state of roads.
In Bolton alone, said the FSB, the underspend was £2.35m, as claims to councils for damage allegedly caused to vehicles rose since 2019 in Bolton and the majority of Greater Manchester's nine other local authority areas.
