RESIDENTS have spoken out about the conditions of a road in Blackrod after they continually have to clear dust, gravel and debris from paths outside their homes. Pollution has become a concern for homeowners on Station Road, with one resident describing the area as a “slum”. People have reported heavy-goods vehicles regularly using the highway, leading to debris gathering along paths, driveways and front gardens. Street sweepers have been deployed in the area but the rubbish keeps returning. Eileen Jackson has noticed the problem becoming steadily worse. The pensioner suffers from COPD and feels the pollution caused by the dust is aggravating her condition.
