Drivers have to swerve to avoid potholes on a 'patchwork' Nottinghamshire road that has been voted the worst for potholes in the county. Westdale Lane, which runs from Mapperley to Gedling, was voted Nottinghamshire's most pothole-ridden road by Nottinghamshire Live readers in a recent poll.
The busy road has previously been targeted for repair works, but sections are still in a poor condition. Residents have now criticised the state of the road, with it being labelled dangerous by those who drive down it frequently.
Retiree David Wood, 74, who has lived in Westdale Lane for 40 years, was appalled by the condition of the road, which he claimed had recently damaged his wife's car. "I've just put in a claim for £305 because my wife's car's front spring broke from a pothole - it is really dreadful.
