Following complaints on the state of Derbyshire roads, in January Derbyshire County Council published a letter to residents apologising for the ‘massive increase’ in the number of potholes.
Derbyshire Times has submitted a Freedom of Information Request (FOI) to the authority to ask for the list of the worst roads reported.
The data revealed Newbold Road in Chesterfield at the top of the ranking with the most complaints about potholes.
