A raft of crumbling West Leeds roads have been identified for much-needed maintenance work as part of the £4,828,563 Department for Transport pothole fund.

Repairs and improvements will be made to dozens of roads across Leeds to prevent new potholes from forming. It’s estimated the £500m allocated across the country would fix the equivalent of 10 million potholes.

Roads have been selected by Leeds City Council on the basis of how bad their condition is.

A council report adds:

“This money is not for filling potholes (already funded by routine maintenance monies). It is expected to be used to prevent potholes forming in the first place. The fund remains insufficient to make a significant difference to the condition of the whole network, but is very much welcomed in terms of the contribution it will make to longer-term prevention of pothole formation.”
