NEARLY 600 potholes have been repaired as part of the most recent phases of Warrington Borough Council’s acclaimed “Look of the Borough” scheme.
In addition, 8,399 carriageway gullies, 2,053 footpath gullies and 38 passageway gullies were cleansed.
The work was carried out in the Central Neighbourhood area – Poplars and Hulme, Orford and Fairfield and Howley.
A total of 22 environmental improvement schemes were carried out and a photographic record taken, with “before and after” pictures taken.
These included schemes in Peel Hall Park, Mardale Avenue, Egerton Street, Brickfields Park, Oakwood Avenue Park, Quebec Road, Shaws Avenue, Smiths Drive Park, the Tannery Field and Hallfields Road.
The programme, which is covering the borough in phases, has now moved into the Bewsey and Whitecross area and will be starting in Great Sankey and Whittle Hall later in February.
Ward councillors and parish councillors are being consulted.
The scheme started last year and has already been carried out in Culcheth, Glazebury, Croft, Woolston and other areas.

Isn’t this what they are supposed to do? If they did the job efficiently, there would be no need for this flag raising money wasting effort.
There was a time when a man with a brush and shovel cleaned all the streets on a weekly basis but now this simple basic function seems to have become an āAcclaimedā event worthy of press attention. I really would like to meet the person who came up with the term āAcclaimedā scheme face to face and then drag them down the roads and paths I walk on a daily basis.
Really makes me angry to think my rates are going towards paying someone to sit on their backside writing stuff like this.
well if they come down our street and re-tarmac the pavements then they can double that number.
Agreed that they should be doing it anyway but I’m impressed at the speed in which WBC repaired most of the large potholes on Dingleway, Appeton which appeared after the bad weather š Still an awful lot on other roads though.. maybe they haven’t been reported by anyone yet though… WBC aren’t mindreaders š š Ring their hotline although I doubt one’s on pavements are a high priority unless of course someone has tripped on them Sid š !!!
I was glad of the potholes…I finaly had somewhere to empty my bins!
