DEAR editor,

I was interested to read a letter in the press from Mr B Kirke of Crossways Street, Barry regarding potholes in his locality.

I have now asked the Highways Department at the Vale of Glamorgan Council if they will go out and inspect the potholes at Bassett Street and Crossways Street with a view to action. I am sorry to hear about this matter and sincerely hope that these roads will be added to the list to be done next.

I do not support turning the lights off at night and share Mr Kirke's concern about how these holes are a health and safety issue when the lights are off. Perhaps instead of switching the lights off the council should consider scrapping the mayor to save?

Clearly more needs to be done in the Bassett area.

Councillor Richard Bertin,

Independent

Vale of Glamorgan Council
