Councillors seek to end pothole problem

POTHOLES are again blighting roads at Culcheth – and members of the Conservative “Look of our Villages” team on the parish council have been out and about noting where they are and reporting them to the borough council.
Cllr Ileyne Hutchinson (pictured) said: “As we come out of winter, the problem arises across the borough and our roads in Culcheth and Glazebury are no exception.
“Wherever we become aware of the issue we will report it, but we also advise residents to notify the borough if potholes are a problem in their roads.”
The team have also been looking at parking problems and street lighting.
Cllr Hutchinson  was approached by residents of Thames Road and Bollin Close with complaints about broken street lamps.
As a result she raised the issue with borough council officers.
“The lighting on Thames Road required some major work and the job needed some time spent on it, but I am glad to report the work has been completed and residents now have working streets again.”
Councillors are also searching for a solution to the problems of inconsiderate parking in Ellesmere Road, which they say are causing road safety hazards for road users and pedestrians.
