Road in Focus - Albany Road

Albany Road has to major areas with problems. First is the junction with Ifield Road:
Image 1: The photo is taken from Ifield Road, and there is one fairly obvious hole by the kerb, but additionally there are others opening up where the roads meet and at the edges of old repairs to the surface. (reported to WSCC under ref WSEK-7HDQMK)

The other is in the stretch that runs parallel to the railway, between Garden Walk and Princess Road:

Image 3: outside No 78 Albany Road

Image 5: looking West from Princess Road

In the four pictures above we do not see any real potholes in the road, although the last does show one in the pathway (reported to WSCC under ref WSEK-7HDQRE). However, the issue is that the road surface is wearing away and cracks from old works and repairs are starting to open up in some places (images 2, 3 & 4) or the road surface has sunk over some works which isn't actually a pothole but will feel like one when you drive or ride over it.

We have raised the whole of this section road to WSCC (under ref WSEK-7HDQWT)
