READERS have voiced their anger after poorly repaired pot holes.

This comes after frustrated members of Dalton Community Action Group (DCAG) have gone to extreme lengths to be heard after the group's complaints to Cumbria County Council (CCC) they feel "have fallen on deaf ears".

Residents took to social media to voice their concerns about pothole repairs in their area.

Mark Currie said: "It's outrageous that the brand new tarmac on market street was left unfinished. The potholes are seriously dangerous for cyclists. They closed the road off for months then leave it in a much worse state than before they arrived."

Alex Kerr said: "It's not just Dalton, it's all around. Park Drive up to the junction with Abbey Road is dreadful. Huge, deep potholes along it.

"There are also a couple of really bad ones in the Matalan carpark. Something needs to be done."

Alan Barrow said: "The whole of Dalton's roads are a disgrace someone is seriously going to get hurt because of it."

Lewis Buchanan said: "In the last five months I've gone through four types and one steel wheel. It's everywhere it's not acceptable."

Sara Warburton said: "Blake Street, opposite St James' Church driving towards the corner shop there is a deep pothole. I didn't see It as It was pouring with rain and dark. Huge bang and then next day i have two flat tyres."

Derek said: "I have lived in Dalton all my life, these repairs are being carried out and not lasting two weeks before they're dangerous again.

"The work done up Market Street past the square are a disgrace - especially near the vets."

The Observer said: "Now you know why the UK has so many off-road vehicles, they are needed on our roads."

Guapo said: "Why is it always left to DCAG, what are our local councillors doing to solve this. Also nothing has been done about speeding."

Cheryl Askew said: "Barrow, Dalton, Ulverston all areas are in a state with potholes."

Mat Rourke said: "I hit one last night, one tyre gone and snapped a spring."
