A WESTSIDE councillor says some roads in the area have been left in a âterrible stateâ after the prolonged cold spell earlier this year.
Catherine Hughson likened some of the roads to a âpatchwork quiltâ.
At a meeting of Shetland Islands Councilâs environment and transport committee on Tuesday members were told that the lengthy period of cold weather caused damage to the road network.

Patching repairs are underway in preparation for the surface dressing due to take place this summer.
âThe roads on the west side are really in a terrible state after the prolonged winter,â Hughson said.
