Thelwall Lane, Latchford, Warrington,Cheshire's largest road pothole, WA4 1PD

A road in Warrington has been slammed for having what's claimed to be the biggest pothole in the Cheshire town. Thelwall Lane, in Latchford, is lined with houses and businesses and it's suffered due to the worsening state of the road. Warrington South Conservative MP Andy Carter questioned if it was the biggest pothole in his constituency. The condition of the road, which runs next to the Manchester Ship Canal, has visibly deteriorated over winter. It's the only route for large wagons and trucks to access industrial sites and units at the bottom, which has increased the pothole's size. The road is owned by Peel Ports Ltd, yet is due for ‘adoption’ by Warrington Borough Council. Andy Carter said there are plans to repair and resurface the whole lane, yet a timescale for the work is unknown. He wrote: “Is this largest pot hole in Warrington South? “I’ve heard from residents and businesses based on Thelwall Lane in Latchford about the worsening state of the road over the last few weeks. “The road is due for adoption by Warrington Council but is currently owned by Peel Ports. “I’ve been advised that there is a plan to repair and totally resurface. I’ve written to the CEO of Peel to ask for a timescale for the work to be completed.” More at https://www.cheshire-live.co.uk/news/chester-cheshire-news/residential-road-largest-pothole-cheshire-23286756
