I'm Corey and this is your Pulse of the City, Lester News Today. Residents along Humberstone Lane in Lestershire are fed up with potholes covering the road, especially on the city side near Lester, on Dermiston. The damage is so bad that even speed bumps are riddled with holes and smaller hums are lifting at the edges. Meanwhile, nearby Barkby Thorpe Road faces the same issues, making your risky for cyclists at night when potholes are hard to spot. Rhoads have lived there for decades and say they've never seen conditions this poor. Local drivers are dodging holes left and right, with some reporting card damage that led to breakdowns and repair weights. One neighbor called it, frustrating, especially after paying taxes for road upkeep. At the county end of the road, a couple of residents feel things have improved lately thanks to recent fixes, though the road sees heavy cut through, traffic. City Council officials know about the problems and are prioritizing maintenance on this busy stretch to avoid big disruptions. They're repping up spending with new government funds, tackling urgent potholes from wet weather

while the county team does over a hundred. Temporary repairs daily and plans permanent work in warmer months. Special thanks to our sponsor for supporting this episode, a pillow that sounds as good as it feels. Built for listening in bed. O-L-I-SoliPillow.com
