I QUOTE from two national newspapers ‘Local councils will get £21,000 per mile to maintain their roads’ unquote.
A start has been made, I see on North Road in Stokesley, with yellow rings around some, not all, and a black tar filled in on some of the holes. Well done, as it must have cost at least a tenner out of the £21,000 in the council coffers!
As I wrote previously the whole of North Road should be dug up and re-laid as it is rapidly deteriorating especially the speed bumps, and made a one way from Allen Grove.
Buses use it one way so that should not cause a problem. I shall not comment on the state of the High Street with cobblestones uprooted and just lying around while the road itself continues to fall apart.
Not a very good advert for our town to residents and visitors.
