Fix our crumbling roads
18 Feb 2026
Jude was out on Simonside Terrace and found this crumbling mess. It’s not just an eyesore - it’s dangerous for cyclists and a nightmare for drivers.
As you can see, this is deep. A "quick patch" won't fix this. This is a classic example of the Council's commercial failure. Labour’s "patch and hope" strategy wastes our money because these temporary fixes fail within weeks. We need a "First Time Fix" - proper resurfacing that actually lasts.
As part of your Heaton Lib Dem team, Jude is pushing for permanent road repairs, not sticking plasters; real accountability for Council contractors; a fair share of the budget for Heaton’s streets
