Concerns about state of town's pavements and roads

Concerns about the poor state of some of Wellington’s pavements, roads and gutters have been raised at the town council.
Councillor Gloria Copley asked the council to write to Somerset Highways about the state of disrepair of some of the town’s pavements, road and gutters, particularly at the bottom of George Street and Bovet Street, where there were special homes for the elderly.
The footways were in a poor state because of tree roots cracking the surface and making it uneven.
It was also pointed out there were potholes in the road at Corams Lane near the entrance to the sports centre, in Springfield Road, and at the Station Road end of Holyoake Street.
Members agreed to ask Somerset Highways to inspect all these areas and carry out any necessary repairs.
