'The Department of Transport does not fund or encourage local authorities to fill potholes on cul-de-sacs despite them being public roads'
"The Department of Transport does not fund or encourage local authorities to fill potholes on cul-de-sacs despite them being public roads"Some people are paying twice to have roads fixed in rural areas as the local council 'isn't encouraged' to fill potholes on certain roads."There are a lot of residents on back roads around the area known as Kilbride, areas at the front of their houses have been ploughed out of it, gouged out if it," she said.
"The Department of Transport does not fund or encourage local authorities to fill potholes on cul-de-sacs despite them being public roads," she said. "But they have to increase the funding specifically for the local road network, the local improvement schemes and the community involvement schemes to the point that residents should not be expected to contribute to those schemes".Cllr Toole said the roads are often dug up with a wide window for repairs.
"We've a cycle lane that ends nowhere, we've a patchwork quilt again of sections that have been resurfaced".
