So far the Council has ignored requests – stretching back to 2012 – for the holes to be made safe.
The Coalition government has recently made an additional £300,000 available to deal with problems potholes like these.
Former Westfield Councillor Andrew Waller has now written to the head of Highways Maintenance at the Council asking for action.
Similar problems with disintegrating speed cushions/tables have also been raised.
NB. The Council earlier in the week agreed to the general introduction of rubber speed cushions.
These have been tested over the last year or so at various locations in the City including part of Askham Lane.
The design is controversial but the decision was taken behind closed doors with no new driver consultation.
