Glasgow is still pothole city despite the council spending millions of pounds to repair the roads.

Giant potholes have appeared on some of the main arteries in the city leading to continued frustration for drivers in their daily commute.

And clearly more action is needed as the Evening Times today continues its campaign for the shocking state of Glasgow’s roads to be addressed.

In April, we revealed how an army of road workers had taken to the streets of Glasgow to start a £12 million pothole blitz, with around £1 million spent each month.

The cash will allow for 90 major junctions, 300 residential streets and 25% of the city centre to be resurfaced.

However, many readers have responded to our Pothole Watch campaign, reporting that massive craters are still appearing across the city’s roads, including Eglinton Street on the south side, Great Western Road in the west and Argyle Street, in the city centre.

Our investigation into the crisis revealed all main routes to and from the city centre are affected by the pothole plague.

Most roads remain scarred by potholes and there are increasing calls for more road maintenance funding, to stop the problem costing more in compensation and accidents.

A massive pothole on the corner of Argyle Street and Sauchiehall Street highlights the alarming condition of Glasgow’s roads.

The Evening Times walked to the junction at rush hour and watched how dozens of vehicles, including buses and lorries, had to swerve and dodge the massive crater.

The huge volume of vehicles which use this route, especially at peak times, mean this crater poses a serious hazard for both vehicles and pedestrians.

Residents on one street, on the south side of Glasgow, believe it could be the most pothole-ridden in the city, with dozens – some measuring up to four feet in length and six inches in depth.

Between house numbers 3 and 6 on Kilmuir Crescent, there are an incredible 18 potholes, which residents say are “an accident waiting to happen”.

As well as the costly repairs to vehicles needed after even the shortest of journeys on the road in Arden, residents have been left furious by the council’s lack of action to repair the craters.

One resident, Mr McDonald, said he has written to Glasgow City Council to report the potholes on “numerous occasions” over the last 10 years, but very little action has been taken.

He said: “Kilmuir Crescent has to be one of the worst roads on the city, a lot of the drivers here will not even attempt to drive along it anymore.

“Most will turn their car around and drive out the other way, its disgraceful.

“I’ve lost track of the amount of times I have either written or called the council to flag up to them just how bad a condition the road is in.

“Council workers have been out to fix some of the holes, but that was years ago, and even then all they did was a dodgy patch up job.

“They should at least spend the time fixing the road surface properly.

“Everyone can see that patching these holes is not the answer, our street needs to be resurfaced.”

Since it was launched last year, the Evening Times’ Pothole Watch campaign, which highlights the deteriorating condition of the city’s roads, has found some serious potholes.

Damaged tarmac and gaping holes, some up to 6in deep and 12in wide, all over the city, have become the bane of every driver’s life.

Another Kilmuir Crescent resident, who did not wish to be named, said she was “furious” about the lack of action from Glasgow City Council. The woman, who has lived in the area for more than 20 years, said: “Myself and other neighbours have reported this street so many times. But you just get the usual response from the council – nothing being done.

“I think it will take a really bad accident, perhaps even for someone to get killed, before proper action is taken to fix this road.”

A spokeswoman for Glasgow City Council said council workers were aware of a water leaking underneath the road surface: “This location has been attended to for ­potholes on more than one occasion.

“However, the repair work is not lasting due to water coming through the carriageway.

“As such, the excavation of the carriageway began last week to investigate the water issue.Once this has been resolved, repair work will be arranged.”

Pothole Watch is part of our Ripped-Off Glasgow campaign, which aims to win the city a fair deal as Scotland’s largest city and industrial powerhouse.
