Council pledges to fix pothole after Post gets involved

RESIDENTS PLEASED THAT ACTION WILL BE TAKEN

- By JOSEPH CONNOLLY Local Democracy Reporter

A BEER bottle-shaped pothole that has plagued a Carlton cul-de-sac for years is finally set to be fixed - just two weeks after the Post reported on it.

The hollow in Glendale Close was a small circular area where the road surface had worn away - but turned into a 6ft-long crater over time.

Resident Michael Taylor first reported the issue to Nottinghamshire County Council's highways team Via more than three years ago. They sent out some workers to fill it with tarmac.

However, Mr Taylor claimed they missed a bit - and as time went on, the exposed part grew, with cars driving over and chipping away at the gap.

The pothole has been growing ever since, with workers repeatedly coming out to evaluate it, but deeming it did not meet the criteria for another repair.
