I AGREE with Michael Lawrence’s comments about the state of the London Road.

The inspectors who consider this road as okay ‘should have gone to Specsavers’. They should try travelling on a bus along it.

It will not be long before the council is sued for back injuries by frequent passengers who are thrown about on their journey. As for the resurfacing in Barton, there is another project that has just started.

No doubt the answer by the unelected mandarins on the council highways is that this is planned work and the money cannot be diverted to more needy repairs.

A bit like saying my roof leaks, but I have put money aside to paint the house so the leak will have to wait.

I suggest that our elected councillors join forces and get this mess sorted out now.
