"Hemp Lane is disintegrating, the road is a state and it is full of pot holes and it will not be long before somebody has a really serious accident.
"I have been complaining to the council and they have said there is nothing wrong with the road, there is - it is a disgrace.
"They have sent people out to sort the potholes and they come, dump some tarmac and then leave it, I have complained to the council, someone else comes out and the same thing happens.
"It is like the council do not want to know, I am concerned that somebody is going to get seriously hurt on that road."
