Clensey Lane – a disappointment after all the hype!

Clensey Lane has been partially refurbished as briefed by Cllr Alexander Maughan earlier in the year.

There are three sections that have been worked on.

  1. Section between Little Gates and the Railway Bridge (Top Dressed).
  2. Railway Bridge (resurfaced to a good standard).
  3. Section adjacent to the turn into Dry Doddington (Top Dressed).

The Railway Bridge section has brand new tarmac and done to a good standard. Section 3 is also done to a reasonable standard. However section 1, the Littlegates section to the Railway Bridge is somewhat disappointing (see images).

Personally, as it stands I would not recommend driving down this road in a passenger car.

Pictures below are of the Littlegates to Railway Bridge section which has top dressing only, you can see that there are potholes. What has systematically damaged the road?
