Join the Times & Star's Pothole Watch
Last updated at 17:50, Wednesday, 10 February 2010
We want you to help us log - by photo and video - every pothole in West Cumbria.
The Times & Star has launched Pothole Watch and we want you to help us find every pothole in West Cumbria.
The Highways hotline has been swamped by calls from people reporting potholes and we want to create a file on how the recent bad weather and heavy traffic diverted onto little-used routes because of the collapse and closure of bridges has caused some of them to crumble.
Please be careful when taking footage and remember the Green Cross Code!

The road from Great Broughton to the Papcastle bridge is falling apart and the damage being done to cars is appalling who will be left to pay for it? Not the council. £10 exta week in petrol because of the diversion and a ruined vehicle as well.

Want to see pot holes? Go to Barepot the roads are huge pot holes.There are people trying to get their lives back to some kind of normality.When will the roads be repaired It's like a demolishion site down there and the roads are getting worse with buses now going so far down there but it's further on the damage is worse.If they do replace their cars that got washed away they won't last long. Next story will be a cars got lost down one.
