The FOCUS team have written to the Director responsible for road repairs to highlight ongoing issues within the ward with road surfaces now breaking up on a number of roads. These are most keenly felt on those roads which have the heaviest traffic; Gale Lane, Askham Lane, Foxwood Lane and whilst there has been resurfacing of the part of Askham Lane (between Grange Lane and Askham Grove) and large patching has happened across sections of Foxwood Lane this has put into stark relief the condition of surrounding sections of road and there are potholes opening up all the time. The Liberal Democrat councillor team constantly report potholes as they emerge but we are pressing for a comprehensive response to the overall condition of roads in our part of the city.
Example on Gale Lane near shop
Askham Lane between Tedder Road and Cornlands Road junctions – this has recently been filled in
Foxwood Lane near junction with Otterwood Lane
School Street as an example of the nearby terraced streets which have many potholes. Severus Street has recently been entirely resurfaced.
Below is the text of the letter submitted to Director Neil Ferris, to which an initial response has been received stating that there will be a decision in early March for the next financial year’s programme which is dependent upon the Council Budget set on 28th February. We will update residents when we have more information.
