Big freeze leaves pothole problems in Inverkeithing

22 Jan 2010
  • Are potholes caused by the big freeze causing problems in Inverkeithing?
  • Councils around the country are facing huge bills to repair roads
The snow and ice may have disappeared for now, but potholes and damaged roads could be a big problem in Inverkeithing in the coming months after the recent big freeze blew a big hole in budgets both for emergency winter maintenance and road repairs.

Despite the efforts of gritting and maintenance teams during the recent bad weather, a report in the Herald reveals that councils across Scotland are facing an overspend of nearly double on winter maintenance budgets for gritting and snow clearance, with a national bill over nearly £100 million.

There's a sunken drain on Hill Street and at the flyover on the way down to Rosyth there are large pieces of disintegrating pothole on the road. Real wheel damagers!!!
