Yorkshire "worst in Great Britain" for state of its roads

Roads in our region are some of the worst in the country for potholes. 40 per cent of people rated the roads in Yorkshire as poor or terrible when asked by the AA.

That makes it, along with Scotland, the worst-rated area in the UK.

Drivers in Northern Ireland, Wales and London reported roads to be in best condition. But, even there, more than 50 per cent of respondents only rated them as fair.

The survey also found one third of respondents had suffered pothole damage to their vehicle over the last two years.

The findings come just after Calendar reported how Morgan Goodhand broke her left leg on her 12th birthday after twisting her foot in a 3in deep hole in the road near her home in Hull.
