Summerhill Road is badly potholed and local councillors have been calling for resurfacing to be carried out for years. The damage done to vehicles, as well as the danger it poses for cyclists and motorcyclists, on such a busy stretch of road serving Gwersyllt and Summerhill must be costing thousands in compensation claims for the council.
Roads elsewhere in the borough been resurfaced to a good standard that weren't as bad as Summerhill Road, so where's the consistency? We challenge any officer or councillor to travel that road and say the road surface is adequate.
People locally are frustrated by council inaction. We understand money is tight, there has to be a level-playing field when it comes to resurfacing roads and people in Gwersyllt don't feel that applies to this road.
Please sign the petition so that I can take it to the lead member responsible for Highways and the Chief Environment Officer.

We do our bit ensuring compliance with a valid vehicle MOT. Its time they do their bit ensuring our roads in particular this strech of road is safe for public use.
Needs doing asap before a tragedy happens on this road.
My last car suffered lots of damage to the suspension but unfortunately we cannot prove that it was this road that was the cause.
Summerhill Rd has been like this for years and it isn’t fair that regular users of this road should have to put up with trying to navigate the numerous potholes that constantly appear along the road.
Please sort this out as a matter of urgency, before there is a serious accident!
