LCC should be ashamed of those potholes and they'd more at home in a third world country - you can even see the cobbles on one of them.

You can see the cobbles in half of the ones down my street, its ridiculous, i spend a lot of weekends driving gravel tracks in forests, and half of them are in better condition than the roads round here

Edit : Townsend street features on the pictures

I found his comment about us paying 2.4 times the council tax that they do in Westminster very interesting along with his comparison of services for our money. I too hope he comes on board here

Just an update, all the scaffolding at Barclays Bank Haslingden has now been removed, I wonder what it cost?
