Frustration over potholes in city
READERS shared their views on potholes and making claims for compensation...
I have a claim running from December 2021 – 13 months ago! Apparently, the road was fit for purpose even though my tyre burst instantly and I have photos of the pothole and the tyre. Total farce.

I once broke wheel as well as tyre on pothole in Dundee.
The issue with claims I believe is whether the council has them on database in the first place, otherwise they claim it’s new. Stewart Cochrane
They are so many deep potholes currently and if they are filled with water, as they must be today, then the danger won’t be seen.
Even when you do see them it isn’t always possible to avoid them. Liz Brown
I have almost lost my wheels driving in Glasgow.
Roads look like from the previous century. It’s just pathetic and no- one bothers to get anything fixed.
A typical scene from Glasgow roads is hundreds of cones dropped in random areas across, blocking roads and causing mayhem but no- one is actually working there. It is even worse this year. It’s just absolutely dreadful. Agness Mikosz
It’s a safety risk for bikers, especially when they’re full of water.
Some of the potholes around Drumchapel won’t only kill the bike’s front tyre there’s a good chance it’ll put the rider in hospital.

READERS had their say on our Facebook page after the cost- ofliving crisis forced a Glasgow bakery to make major changes.
I think we will see a huge number of small businesses folding over the next few months unless something is done to help.
Sam Murdoch
The government here in Scotland has done zero to help small businesses like this.
They’re a disgrace. Stop funding the indyref and start helping real people who are risking losing their livelihoods due to this government’s lack of support.
