Jason Porteous, who has been driving his cab for 20 years, took roads bosses around some of Glasgow’s worst craters one year ago and says not enough is being done to fix them.
A fed-up taxi driver who took council staff on a “pot hole tour” of Scotland’s biggest city says the roads have never been worse.
“Within the city boundary there’s barely a road now which is drivable without hitting a pot hole. That’s how bad it’s getting. Last month taxi drivers who say their cars have been badly damaged by reported potholes sounded their horns on a slow drive-by the council HQ on George Square.But the local authority said it expects to have completed around 175 road re-surfacing projects by the end of the month after doubling last year’s budget to repair damage caused by the harshest winter roads had seen in over a decade.
“I only work through the day now. Night shift drivers don’t have a chance of avoiding the pot holes because it’s dark.“I’m going to make an official complaint over the way this is being handled.” A spokesman said: “Following the lowest road surface temperatures in a decade in December 2022, an extended period of heavy rain led to a sharp rise in pothole reports in January 2023.
