West Lancashire has the worst roads in Lancashire.  Campaigning for a new approach to road repair/potholes by the County Council to include:

Our West Lancashire’s action plan for potholes:

Money – to be directed where the need is highest

Right first time – Employing more monitors to oversee contractors carrying out road repairs to ensure they are right first time and do not fail after a few weeks

New technology – Introducing the use of rubber modified asphalt in road repairs in order to find a use for end of life tyres and produce a more flexible longer-lasting road repair 

Fix all potholes in the vicinity not just the one on the list – Abandoning the current system which sees potholes repaired in a strict list/priority order and fix all the potholes in a neighbourhood at the same time, reducing travel time and costs

Localising – Exploring the localisation of road repairs.  Road repair with local, on-the ground oversight should mean better quality repairs.
