| Melanie Onn: 'Proliferation of potholes is a big problem' (photo: Facebook) |
GRIMSBY and Cleethorpes MP Melanie Onn has called on North East Lincolnshire Council to step up the pace of pothole repairs in the constituency.
In her monthly half-hour surgery on social media, she declared: "Potholes are popping up all over the place because cold and weather has undermined the quality of asphalt on road surfaces.
"As a result, damage is being caused to vehicles and danger is being created for pedestrians, cyclists and those using mobility scooters.
"It's a big problem."
The MP acknowledged that NELC had a repairs schedule but maintained that the authority could act with greater haste given that it had recently received £1.1-million in funding from Whitehall.
"The schedule is not keeping up with the proliferation of potholes," she added. "Much more needs to be done - and can be done."

| This Cleethorpes road junction pothole is particularly treacherous for cyclists |
Potholes on Winchester Ave and Sutcliffe on the nunsthorpe estate are beyond a joke, now on Sutcliffe outside the school the road has sunk considerably and has started cracking which would indicate the ground below has washed away so nothing is supporting the road no more. The council need to pull their finger out and fix the roads especially when road tax as well as normal tax is increasing yet the roads nelincs provide are below a safe standard it needs a full retread.
