An MSP has vowed to keep up his fight to improve the crumbling roads on Arran, and across North Ayrshire, after discovering the problem was worse than he first thought, writes Colin Smeeton.
Conservative MSP Jamie Greene asked residents to send in examples of potholes in their area and within two weeks the post had received more than 350 comments and had been seen by more than 50,000 people online. As well as sending in pictures of potholes, residents also uploaded a number of photos where their cars had been damaged by the decaying state of the roads.
West Scotland region MSP Mr Greene helped highlight the poor state of Arran’s roads in the Banner last month, which council roads bosses blame on winter weather.
