I'll start you off with

School road just west of the new roundabout
St Annes Road, South of the Waterloo
M6 south of Leyland

What the hell do I get for my £600 road tax??? (I know its vehicle excise duty, but you get my drift)

Doesn’t road tax still go to the MOD 🤔

Edit, apparently it gets paid into a consolidated fund that pays for all kinds of things like education, health, police etc. Part of the exchequers general budget.

Massive one on Bispham Road, the width and breadth of a sink hole, thankfully not the depth of.

Clifton Drive from the White Church to AKS
Lytham Road from the Land Registry to Aerospace

Easier to use the potholes as Braille instead of looking at road signs.
 
Cunliffe Road (esp between Bloomfield Rd and Ansdell Rd). There's more pot hole than there is road.
 
DONT worry Blackpool peeps . JUST read . 7.2 million to be spent in Lancashire on roads . A windfall from HS2 money NOT been wasted. The road in front of our flat was filled in just last week. Fylde Borough . BILLY b;;;;CKS of a council.
 
Garstang Road A586 coming out of St Michaels towards Churchtown. Dreadful. And on a corner where there was a fatality recently. They’ve done a few patches on it this last week, full repair this week, but it’s been like that for months.
 
Norcross Lane - all of it disintegrating.

One I went down the other day and is shocking is Alexandra Road Thornton near Millfield school. A car wrecker. And then on Victoria Road East outside the Bay Horse is chronic.
 
I’ve never known the UK to be in such a mess. Services unavailable or gone out of sight, utilities more expensive and some lacking foresight and investment. NHS needs a shake up and more money. Roads not fit for purpose. Transport unreliable. If as expected Labour is elected they face a mammoth (not Woolly) task. This is not a single term government fix more like 4 & it’s going to cost us.

where's all the money gone then, as I've been paying more than my fair share

Don't forget the real damning indictment that is dentistry. I asked my step-son's partner about automatic enrolment to a dentist for their two year old. She said there's no such thing. Talk about 3rd world. It's a disgrace.

Norcross Lane is like Port Stanley runway, after the Vulcan flyover and carpet bombing.

Dentistry is a real problem at the mo, and I would imagine only going to get worse 🥺
 
Thousands of houses have cropped up around the Fylde in the past decade. Exactly how many new schools, gp surgeries, dentists and hospitals have built built to meet this population surge?

Well along the A6 around Garstang the answer is zero. However they did build a subway, a chippy and co-op mini to support them all.

Whilst at the same time closing the tip there just before the population boom. Pure genius.
 
Don't worry folks. There is plenty of cash to send billions to Ukraine and have our Tornados shooting Iranian drones out of the sky.

And I'm sure London and the Home counties roads are just fine. Toodles northern peasants.

Ditto the new estate going up in Poulton. Infrastructure...what's that?

Hasn't the co-op minimarket got an integrated dentist built in. It's the future 🫣

Teeth removal. 125 each. Double denture 1.300 . I probably need all three remaining teeth and a double denture. Which i would need because your mouth changes shape with age. .

I shudder to think how painful it was back in the days of a quick jerk without anaesthetic & I’m talking teeth 🦷 but according to my dad it was an option in his lifetime. Are we going full circle.

The trouble is, they never seem to get ahead of problems. It always becomes a national headline issue before they even start to think about doing something, and even then the solutions fall way short.
 
Lancashire County Council has notified the Town Council that there will be a temporary road closure on A6 Garstang Bypass and Various roads on 21.04.24 - 27.04.24 to enable resurfacing works to be carried out by LCC Highways.
The prohibition will be operative nightly from 2000 hours to 0600 on Sunday 21st April 2024 until Saturday 27th April 2024 or until completion of the works within this period. Access will be maintained whenever and wherever possible.
