Stoke-on-Trent City Council is fixing dangerous potholes on the A53, ensuring safer travel for drivers in the area.
Stoke-on-Trent: The A53 has some serious potholes. They’ve been causing problems for drivers. People are swerving to avoid them, and it’s been a real hassle.
Now, the city council is stepping in. They’re starting repairs over the next two days. This comes after many drivers complained about the potholes.
These potholes are especially bad in Milton, Baddeley Green, and Stockton Brook. Some wheel trims have even been left behind as evidence of the damage.
One pothole near a grid in Stockton Brook has grown quite large. Drivers are trying to dodge it, making the road even more dangerous.
Just two weeks ago, the local news reported on these potholes. After the story, some wheel trims were cleaned up, but more appeared later.
Today, the city council confirmed they’re on it. They’re fixing the potholes near Braithwell Drive and Dunsford Avenue today.
A council spokesperson said they temporarily repaired one pothole yesterday and will finish the job tomorrow.
Ward councillor Dave Evans shared the news on social media. He warned drivers to expect slight delays while the work is done.
Residents are relieved but frustrated. Many called the road a nightmare and noted how often cars have to swerve.
