The B1174 Gonerby Road, between North Parade and the Downtown roundabout, has deteriorated rapidly over the last 2 years. The number and scale of potholes has increased exponentially, due to the increase in traffic, particularly heavy lorries and trailers, following its use as a main diversionary road from the numerous scheduled and unscheduled A1 closures, and the closures of the A52 Barrowby Road and A607 Springfield Road during the extensive railway bridge repairs. Obviously, the potholes damage cars and other vehicles, and the risk of accidents increases as drivers engage last minute manouvres to avoid them. There is however, another, equally serious consequence to this road not being properly maintained, which is noise pollution. The noise generated by the heavy lorries and their trailers as they run over the potholes is increasing day by day, and night by night. This noise should be professionally measured and assessed, and taken into account when prioratising this road for complete resurfacing.
