Fixing crumbling roads East Kilbride News online readers had their say after it was revealed that almost £6 million will be spent fixing roads.

Liz Clarke posted:“Believe it when I see it.”

Callum Leckie said:“£6m is needed to repair the road next to Canberra [Primary] alone, complete shambles.”

James McCulloch advised:“The bit at the Crooked Lum is an absolute joke.”

Jane McKay Cardoo said:“No point – resurfacing isn’t getting done properly. Ours has been done twice and is still a mess.”

Elspeth McManus said:“Thank the lord. They are shocking.”

David Warnock said:“Funny South Lanarkshire Council promising to spend all that money as not that long back in their report published in EK News, they were looking at slashing their road funding bill due to having to balance the books, so where has all this funding suddenly come from?”

Scott Redpath said:“The recent “micro surfacing” carried out around the town was farcical to say the least. Lickprivick Road lasted a mere few months and then had to be relaid once again.”

Susan Haldane said:“Roads in EK are a mess. Small patch-ups done and then a few weeks later huge holes again.

“Need to be done properly to start with and maybe the roads will last longer.”

Brian McCallum said:“Stop using cheap materials to bring the jobs in on budget. It’s a false economy.”
