Lots of potholes, some significantly deep., 20th March

Tue, 20 Mar 2018 09:37:00 +0000
53.260861 -2.77209

At the turning from Latham avenue, left onto Primrose lane there is a collection of potholes close together, that to avoid require driving unsafely into the oncoming lane. Throughout the whole stretch of primrose there are potholes, this junction just has significant number. Further up the road by the bridge there is a deep one by a grid that again to avoid requires you to move into the other lane, only this time sight is impaired due to the bridge being immediately in front. These potholes are not new, they have been steadily worsening over the last 18 months. However in the last 2/3 months new ones are forming and existing ones have gotten a lot worse.

A sofa and a tent have been dumped. I don't know how the tippers got the sofa to this location as it's not near road access. How to locate the items: Go to top of Carriage Drive, Frodsham; carry on up the track - the wall of the house 'Dunsdale' is on your right; at the end of the wall take the steps down the hill; just beyond the bottom of the steps/slope, look left - there's an abandoned blue tent and a green sofa., 16th November
