Rydal Rd - A complete re-surface required ?

With living on the Racecourse Estate, I’ve never had much occasion to drive down Rydal Rd which runs parallel to Church St between Dearden St and Fearneyside.

    

However, when I did go down there the other week I was taken aback by the state of the road surface.

Notwithstanding the speed ramps which were put there some time back, the rest of the road is either potholed or badly patched up.

It struck me that the £19,200 Highways budget allocated to the Area Forum for 2013-2015 wouldn’t even sort this one street out. This is why we need more of our £5million per year Council Tax back for us to decide what it is spent on.

This road is already used as a bit of a rat-run to avoid trying to get out of Dearden St, something that may increase when Lever St is made one-way.

(Even Eric Hyde hasn’t been seen looking into this.)

Joking apart, this needs sorting. We shouldn’t have road surfaces like this in Little Lever in the 21^st Century.
