Stephen McPartland, Member of Parliament for Stevenage, was asked by local residents to come and see the poor condition of the surface of the road in Kessingland Avenue in the Fishers Green area of Stevenage.

Stephen said, "When I visited it was clear that the surface of the road is breaking down, with many pot holes, especially in the first 400 metres from the main road.  I have immediately taken up the state of this road with Hertfordshire Highways to try and identify a lasting solution."

Joe Beaumont, who lives in Stevenage, said, "Not only is it a huge danger to cars, it's also a disgrace that it's been allowed to get this bad. I'm right behind Stephen McPartland in chasing up the people responsible!"
