Our awful roads need urgent attention
What is happening to the roads in Wisbech? Pressure must be put on Cambridgeshire Highways Department to step up and get the roads in Wisbech fit to drive on.
So many of our roads are now in an appalling and dangerous condition.
Potholes everywhere, which are spray painted yellow and then left for weeks on end to get ever bigger and more dangerous.
Even when they do repair a pothole, it is such a dismal effort, that on average it lasts a couple of weeks before it reappears again. People are having their cars, tyres and wheels damaged, leading to expensive repair bills through Cambridgeshire Highways Departmentâs failure to keep the roads in a roadworthy condition.

A frail 60-year-old woman remains in a critical condition after she was allegedly bashed by her son in front of horrified work colleagues who armed themselves with mops and a squeegee.
Luke Henry, 26, allegedly punched and kicked his mother Adelle Henry, before slamming her head on concrete, at a Mt Druitt Disability workshop, in Sydney s western suburbs, on Wednesday afternoon.
Henry, who has been charged with domestic violence related offences over the alleged attack, told a court he had been released from a mental health facility just hours earlier.
The 26-year-old, who is yet to enter a plea, appeared in Mr Druitt Local Court on Thursday, where his bail application to be released into a mental health facility was denied.
