Council pledges to prioritise repairs on Dunstable road after pothole complaints
Work will be done to fix the potholes plaguing one road in Dunstable after complaints from residents.
Nigel Carrington, 58, says potholes along Kirby Road have become increasingly dangerous.
The lorry driver said: “It’s disgraceful. Absolutely disgusting.
“Someone’s gonna get a puncture or do some damage to their car.”
Images seen by the Luton News show craters in the tarmac down the road.
Nigel is particularly worried about the impact these could have on people with mobility issues.
He explained: “Any wheelchairs or mobility scooters, if they get caught in that in any of the ruts, they’re going over.”
A Central Bedfordshire Council spokesperson said: “We have inspected Kirby Road, and maintenance works are currently being prioritised in line with our network management maintenance plan."
The state of the road also means drivers have to take extra care.
Nigel said: “Everyone’s complaining about the road.
“Literally everybody’s swerving to miss the potholes.
“You can’t go up that road no more than five miles an hour.”
