Everyone seems appalled at the state of our main roads in coalville and ashby. I've spoken to people that have told me when driving on journeys as soon as they come into north west leicestershire road network it becomes severely dangerous. Everybody is moaning so I think it's time us residents take control by letting leicestershire county council know what a disgrace our roads have become. We're lucky nobody has been killed

Please help me to get our message accross

December 16, 2017

I am currently compiling a formal dossier of documented road surface conditions to submit directly to the county highways department. I have also reached out to local council representatives to demand a review of the current gritting routes and salt allocation policies.

Took daughter to work in Derby during the snow. Could tell where the border was between Derbyshire and Leicestershire by the state of the roads! She had to video us trying to get her to work so that her boss would believe that she couldn't get there. Was a miracle that no-one was badly hurt on those roads

I live in a small cul-de-sac in Ashby,just put a deep carpet of salt at the entrance to road and the vehicles travelling into the road will spread it,no need for the gritter to get stuck,If there is enough salt would be easy to spread some on the paths also.I live where there are a lot of old people who need to get to the shops after a few days for food.

How can you be stuck in a traffic jam at 23:30? Oh yes, council haven’t prepared the main route from the M1 to the A42...
