New figures show that half of the most complained about roads in Bolton are in Bolton West – despite the constituency covering less than a third of the borough.
Following a Freedom of Information request by Bolton West MP Chris Green, Bolton MBC has confirmed that five roads in his constituency attract the most complaints.
Chorley New Road, Wigan Road, Moss Lane, Manchester Road and Moss Bank Way all feature in the top ten.
Slackley Brow, Kearsley is the most complained about road in the borough.
Chris said:
“I’m sure Bolton West residents will not be surprised to hear that the roads in our corner of the borough receive some of the most complaints – time and time again, people tell me they feel that council tax always appears to be spent in the centre of Bolton and the towns and villages surrounding it are ignored.
“These figures suggest that Bolton West’s roads are either being badly repaired or that repeated calls for them to be repaired are being ignored.
“With us now being well into winter, it’s important that our roads are well prepared for the icy weather, so if anyone does have any complaints about any roads in our area, please do let me know – I’ll do my best to get them fixed.”
