Road in Focus - Forester Road

A resident contacted us about Forester Road, having reported holes some weeks ago and not seen them repaired.

As it happened, the one that they were most concerned about was filled in the next day, but we decided to check out the whole street.

There definitely have been repairs recently, but there are still holes that remain unfilled and older repairs that are starting to fail. The worst places are below (the reference number is given for each report raised to WSCC):


Junction with Mason Road (WSEK-7LRNNA):The road surface all along the line where the roads meet is cracked up, and in places has opened up.


By no 106 (WSEK-7LRP67)On the carriageway next to a layby, a hole has opened up where the surface has been patched in the past.

Outside nos 93&95 (WSEK-7LRPGU)
The driveway here looks new, and it's hard to tell whether the holes were there beforehand, were caused by the work, or have opened up afterwards. The one at the verge was full of leaves, so hard to see, but the other was clear to see.

Given that the road has recently been looked at and repaired, it's surprising that problems are still evident.
