Residents are paying more while roads continue getting worse
Across Troon ward, residents are reporting worsening potholes, damaged roads, faded markings and poor repairs.
People expect safe roads and proper maintenance for the council tax they pay.
Instead, many residents feel basic neighbourhood standards are slipping behind while temporary fixes continue failing.
Local residents have contacted us about growing concerns on roads including:
- Hill Rise
- Barkby Road
- St Ives Road
- Fairfax Road
- Rushford Drive
- Essex Road
Residents say potholes are becoming harder to avoid, road markings are fading and repairs often do not last.
What residents are telling us
“The roads are patched over again and again but never properly fixed.”
“You can feel the condition of the roads getting worse every year.”
“Drivers are paying more in council tax while roads continue falling behind.”
“Some road markings are becoming difficult to see, especially at night.”
Road conditions matter because they affect:
- safety
- traffic
- cyclists
- pedestrians
- emergency access
- day-to-day quality of life
Local people should not have to keep reporting the same issues repeatedly while roads continue deteriorating.
Local Conservatives are calling for:
- Faster action on dangerous potholes
- Longer-lasting road repairs
- Better maintenance of road markings and signage
- Greater focus on basic neighbourhood standards
- More accountability for repeated repair failures
We believe residents deserve:
- safer roads
- clearer markings
- better maintenance
- value for money
