CALLS to replace a Rodbourne road blighted by potholes prompted Adver readers to suggest other streets in Swindon that need attention.

Labour's Jim Robbins, who represents the Rodbourne area, said action is needed in Morris Street.

But Swindon Borough Council has argued such an expensive fix is not necessary yet – and claims the issue had not been reported.

Figures from the Department for Transport showed Swindon would receive £3.5 million to maintain roads across the borough in 2021-22.

That is £1.2m less than the £4.7m provided in the current financial year – a reduction of 26 per cent.

Readers highlighted pothole-strewn paths in their neighbourhoods.

Carol Murray: “I drove through Cheney manor Industrial Estate last week. It’s like driving on a dirt road. Absolutely disgraceful.”

Andrew Little: “I bet Renard and co have never driven down there because they don't want to damage their precious cars.

“Ferndale Road by the old Oxford Brooke's building have got some big pot holes,

“Vicarage Road and St Mary's roundabout going towards Cheney Manor Road is also very bad, and all the roads on Cheney Manor industrial estate.

“That's just a few, no doubt there are hundreds more around Swindon, but as usual it will fall on deaf ears.”

Lee Potter: “Just about every road in Swindon.”

Gary Hayes: “Going to be a problem outside the bus station taxi rank as looks like the drains are collapsing there.”

Phil Fagan: “Cheney manor industrial estate road, funny enough right by the council.”

Richard Fagan: “Yes, worst road in Swindon.”

Cheryl Satchell: “It would be easier to name streets that don't have any [potholes].”

Daniel Merriott: “Have you seen the Grand Canyon on Mead Way on the roundabout by Simple gym?

"You can’t even drive around it, sort it out.”

Katherine Noble: “Queens Drive [is an] accident waiting to happen.”

Rebecca Woodward: “Tell me about it, didn’t realise until it was too late earlier. How I didn’t damage my car, I don’t know.”

Darren Smythe: “It would be quicker and easier to tell them the couple of good roads in Wiltshire.”

Westley Reid: “All of Swindon Thamesdown Drive is awful and the amount of traffic doesn't help. Taxes are up so improve our roads.”

Elspeth Hughes: “The whole of Swindon is blighted with holes.

“We need an MOT for our car to confirm it's safe. However, the roads do not and they are dangerous.”

Zoe Fox: “To be fair, the whole of Swindon needs repaving and roads redone, not a patch up.

"Even the paths have holes from curb parking and more and some paths aren't fully level.”

Lisa Knee: “Because the pot holes are not repaired properly, it doesn’t take long for them to reappear but worse than before.”

Kevin Smith: "Swindon roads are awful. Queens Drive is horrendous and I’m so angry that council tax has gone up."

Joshua Fernandes: "Under low bridge near the outlet."
