'We're sick of bodged repairs': Villagers near Shrewsbury claim contractors did 'half a job' filling potholes
Villagers near Shrewsbury are highlighting the poor state of the roads in the area, despite contractors carrying out repairs just weeks ago.
Residents in Weston Lullingfields, north of Baschurch, said they "will not stop" applying pressure to Shropshire Council "until the job is done right".
It comes after contractors visited the area and filled potholes following a campaign last month.
But Mr Kim Downer, who has lived in the village for 40 years, said only the worst hole has been filled and others which were left are still a danger.
"They've come and filled one side of the road, which was a large verge and often flooded," he said.
"But just a short distance further on up the road there's a load more which need doing. I don't know why they couldn't do them all at once and do them properly rather than half a job.
"We're sick of bodged repairs which come up after a day's rain, it needs to be filled properly.
"Us residents won't stop pressuring the council until the job is done right. We've had enough – it's been over three years that we've been campaigning for better roads in this village and the bodged job they've done is just not acceptable."
Other concerns raised by villagers include the frequency of HGVs passing through the area.
Mr Downer, 75, who owns a window cleaning business, said: "The crossroads at Baschurch are particularly bad and are a danger to motorists and cyclists.
"HGVs which shouldn't be using these roads are also passing through here frequently."
Shropshire Council has been contacted for comment.
