A56 has to be the worst road (From Warrington Guardian)

A56 in Lymm has to be the worst road

I AM surprised that the council feels it necessary to resurface a considerable number of streets in ‘the cultural quarter’ when they are in relatively good condition.

It really is time that something was done to sort out the A56 through Lymm which has been dug up during the past four or five years by every statutory undertake that there is – twice by some!

The condition of the road is such that when I need to take a taxi home from Manchester Airport I always receive the comment that the journey is along that dreadful road.

Since its condition appears to be universally known to all the cab drivers at the airport, I have the impression that before long they will be embargoing journeys to Lymm for fear of the damage potentially to be suffered by their vehicles.

I thought something was being done last year but the works terminated when approximately one quarter of the evil stretch had been remedied and even then I note that fresh holes are being dug on this stretch.

Perhaps we could have a contest to nominate the worst roads in Warrington divided into categories according to the roads classification?

I feel certain that this would be the winner of the A road category by a wide margin.
