The roads in Haughton, Church Eaton, and
Bradley are a disgrace. Potholes are appearing everywhere, flooding
is common, and many roads are covered in mud and debris. Barry,
and the three Parish Councils in the Ward, are constantly reporting
these faults to the County Council's Highways Department but
very few repairs seem to get done. Just one example is the poor
state of the Wheaton Aston Road at Park Hall which both Barry
and Church Eaton Parish Council reported last year. Despite a
number of reminders the last time the subject was raised with
County Highways the Parish Council were told there was not record
of the problem and the road would be added to the repair list.
"I believe the County Council have
completely lost control of road repairs and can now not cope.
Constant staff cuts have left the few workers that are left struggling
to catch up and I can only see the situation getting worse. Local
residents pay enough Council Tax to the County Council and deserve
a much better service", says Barry
