Lockhart's '˜Spot the Pot' campaign

DUP Councillor Carla Lockhart is the first councillor in the ABC area to start a campaign called '˜Spot the Pot'.

This comes following the number of complaints she has received about roads and the number of potholes in the area.

Speaking about the campaign Councillor Lockhart said: “whilst I am not a fan of politicians standing around pointing at pot holes it has to be recognised that this is a big issue for people living and travelling on the roads throughout our Borough.

“I have commenced a Spot the Pot campaign which allows residents to inform me of any areas were the potholes exist so that I can report them and ensure that they are fixed.

“I can be contacted on 07833 198008 or alternatively via email [email protected].

“If you are able to provide photos it certainly is useful.

“Together we must tackle the problem that exists and I will in the new Assembly mandate be lobbying for additional resources for roads maintenance.

Winter has taken its toll on the roads network and I believe we will see a spike in the number of claims against the Department for vehicles damaged on the roads.

“It is essential that these pot holes are fixed immediately.”
