On Tuesday, I met up with Sir Robert Atkins, MEP. I took him around St. Annes to show him the terrible state of many of our roads. The one pictured is Albert Road. The potholes, loose gravel, neglected paving, and bumbs and bulges make driving and cycling on these streets a very dangerous endeavour. Pedestrians trying to cross these roads are likely to take a serious tumble. Yet, nothing gets done. The roads remain a disaster, an accident waiting to happen. I have reported each and every one that I have seen, and I will keep re-reporting them, as well as personally speaking with the Area Manager North for Highways at Lancashire County Council as many times as necessary until they are repaired properly. Funding is the excuse, but after ten years of seeing the continuing decay of certain roads, I feel it is "our turn" to get some highway funding for St. Annes' roads.
